  • Collaborate with hospital stakeholders and Growing Places partners to deliver a cohesive and positive dining experience
  • Drive customer satisfaction through visible leadership, consistent service standards, and proactive problem solving
  • Monitor financial performance including sales, labor, food costs, and inventory
  • Ensure compliance with all Sodexo, client, food safety, and regulatory standards
