Originally hired as Assistant to two Regional Managers but quickly promoted to Assistant to the
Division Leader. This Division office oversaw daily operations of all Denny’s Restaurants from Maine
to Virginia. I was the one, direct contact for all customer complaints/concerns from all restaurants in
the division. Additionally, my responsibilities included general administrative support to Division
Leader; I was his liaison for communications with all other levels of management, including corporate
office; Regional Leaders reported to me on a daily and weekly basis regarding individual restaurant
events (health department inspections, maintenance issues, notice of closings for any reason, major
events such as robberies or employee theft) All Divisional correspondence filtered through my office
for ultimate resolution. I compiled weekly reports of restaurants’ expenditures for management
review, and coordinated quarterly and yearly management meetings for entire Division. My Office
Management responsibilities included general, daily office operations support and cross-training with
other Division Departments within the office (ie., Risk Management, Human Resources, Facilities
Management) I created and successfully balanced the office’s budget, which at the time of my
departure was $1.7 annually. This position also offered me a unique opportunity to extensively study
communication skills in order to most effectively resolve customer issues.
