Brand Standards & Guest Experience

Maintain full compliance with brand audit requirements, including food safety, presentation, and guest satisfaction metrics. Champion a consistent guest experience through training, brand storytelling, and proactive service recovery practices. Leverage guest feedback, brand quality assurance results, and market trends to continuously improve performance.
