Chef Jim Sargood Background Summary

I have a diverse background that includes multi-unit operator, chain/corporate general manager and kitchen manager experience, private country club food & beverage and executive chef experience and restaurant ownership of a fast casual café and a full service casual dining restaurant.  I also have a strong passion for Culinary Arts and received my A.O.S. degree in Culinary Arts from Johnson & Wales University, Providence, RI.  I have culinary experience in fast casual, casual dining and fine dining cuisine.

 

I have a strong financial background and P&L accountability from both the operation side and multi-unit side.  I have had success by providing a professional and accountable culture for my management and hourly team members.  I believe in team building which begins with surrounding yourself with people that have a passion and desire to be in the hospitality industry.  I also feel my background in high volume restaurants and my experience in the private clubs allow me to focus on the details of operations as well as being focused on the guest experience through establishing relationships and brand building.  I have experience in all forms of social media advertising as well as print and graphic design.       

 

I would like the opportunity to discuss my experience and background with you.  I can be reached by email at jp121201@gmail.com or by cell phone at (239) 464-7887.  I look forward to speaking with you.
