Pieter Conradie

The restaurant industry is my passion and I have been working in the industry for 23 years. I can honestly say that I am well equipped and knowledgeable when it comes to managing and maintaining a well-run restaurant. I am excellent at decision making and able to perform under pressure. I focus not only on providing excellent customer service but also on developing staff and managing the proficiency and profitability of the business.

Through the years of working in the restaurant industry I have gained a wealth of knowledge of the operations of a well-run restaurant. I possess the knowledge and skills to train staff as well as knowledge of food cost control, labour control, budgets, expenses, and sales targets.

I work closely with wine farms in the Stellenbosch area for procurement for our restaurant.

Should my application be successful I assure you that I will serve you to the best of my ability. I am available for an interview on a day that can be arranged. I trust that my application will receive your favorable consideration.

Kind Regards
