Background

About Lamont Jackson

In summary, I have more than 20+ years of experience in the food and beverage industry: 15 at the management level; 11 with HMSHost. My range of food and beverage experiences is broad and includes the Marriott hotel, Starbucks, Burger King, Host QSR’s and casual dining. My management skills and industry knowledge include: • Strong analytical skills including regular monitoring of my store budgets to ensure we are in compliance. I continually examine ways to organize labor for efficiency, and evaluate menus and product usage and ordering to avoid waste. To help me track and manage store operations, I have created spreadsheets, which are now used by other store managers • A thorough understanding of the port contract, union and legal requirements as they relate to operations and employee management. • A strong understanding of food and beverage markets and customer preferences. I regularly review other restaurant menus and prices so that I have a comparative reference. • My oral and written communication skills are excellent. • I am a self-starter and have demonstrated abilities in technical leadership and project management. I am very strong at gathering and interpreting requirements provided by management and users. I learn details of user applications quickly and can document and implement systems that meet requirements, as well as user expectations.
