  • Monitoring food margins, reducing waste, and ensuring accurate stock levels
  • Working closely with restaurant management and our Lina Cucina team to ensure alignment on menus, specials, and events
  • Taking pride in our food and engaging with guests when needed to ensure an unforgettable dining experience
