• Evaluate how ingredient and product choices impact labor, COGS, and operational efficiency, working cross-functionally with the cofounder/COO to ensure all variables are considered in sourcing decisions.
• Data-Driven Decision Making:
• Analyze sales data, client feedback, and market trends to identify high-impact sourcing opportunities that maximize menu performance and business results.
• Adjust sourcing strategies based on menu performance and evolving client demand.
• Uphold Uncompromising Quality:

• Continuous Improvement:
• Embrace a culture of constant change and continuous improvement, always seeking new ways to enhance our menu, sourcing processes, and client experience.
