SPYROS LORANDOS

Summary

I have a degree from Cooking Technician & Chef Department in Greece. I have 10 years experience in the professional kitchens and the last five years I have worked in the fine dinning restaurants. I am specialized in hot section in main dishes and on the line. I am also experienced in cold section, in preparing salads and dressing sauces. In the past I have worked in coffee bars and I am experienced in brunch menus. .I believe that my specialization in hot kitchen (main dishes) and line as well as my experience in many other sections will help me become a valuable member of your staff, who will assist chef in completing their dishes. My skills and my personal attributes, which include punctuality, devotion, concentration and motivation, will provide you with a hard-working employee who is always willing to cooperate with his colleagues in order to complete his tasks.
