About James Manarpaac

Comfortable and enjoy working in the front of any facility be it the front desk doing check ins and overnight audits to servicing patrons at a restaurant. I am also now knowledgeable on how to handle purchasing orders as well as intake of general/ perishable goods. Always excited about new experiences and growth as a person, colleague and helping younger people finding their pathways and or providing support for personal and team growth. — Help with stocking 3 restaurants with food and beverage as well as supporting the room services and staff cafe daily. — Food stockroom houses and processes over 10K of fruits and vegetables a week alone. — Our team is very strong and well organized, with only 4 individuals or less we are able to jump into any role needed and provide any support or duties necessary to complete all orders, requests, special order sourcing, sorting within a eight hour window. — Upon intake of fresh fish and shellfish the food storeroom temperature checks, cross check invoices and visually inspects freshness of ALL products and ingredients. To date we are the ONLY hotel with such high standards. I have asked every supplier that we do business with and every driver deems it so. —As a senior storekeeper we forecast supply/ demand usage daily, keep up with local and national supply chain events, and adjust ordering accordingly due to any issues. —If an item(s) does not meet our personal and chef standards the storeroom will show product with chefs team and pivot as needed. This is a daily struggle with out of season watermelon. — Our storeroom has over 2K of items. Monthly stocking audits are done with our daily operations duty’s at the end of every month. We help account all good and beverage items on 1 shift. I have over 2 years of experience with Yellowdog, Hotsauce, and above basic comprehension of Microsoft and IOS systems. Currently I am getting accustomed to CHATGPT and it’s functions, possibilities, and it’s limitations. Trained five different on call candidates for this position, they usually move on because of the on call status/ nature of work. The temperature ranges we endure daily fluctuates from 81 degrees to a minus 6 in the freezer. I enjoy my co workers because we are so few. The daily flow of lifting, checking invoices, computer inputting and communicating with vendors/ co workers makes this job and any similar employment very enjoyable and rewarding. On my days off I spend quality time with my wife and 2 dogs or I go home and help my family with their 31 rental properties on the Big Island.
