As a Food Service Supervisor with Dane County Consolidated Food Service I am performing the task of Production Manager, Catering Manager, and Small Ware Stock Manager. My Production Manager duties include the direction of operations with regard to the production of food service items intended for service at the Dane County Jail, Public Safety Bldg., Juvenile Detention, Verona Senior Center, Verona Meals on Wheels, Dane County Youth Neighborhood Intervention Program, and Badger Prairie Health Care Center. Scheduling, payroll, and evaluation of CFS personnel is also involved in my daily duties.

Working as the center stone of operations within the facility I am responsible for the coordination of various branch departments directly and indirectly related to the food service operations, resulting in the completion of the daily production with regard to the preparation of Dane County client meal programs.

I also act as computer trouble shooter for the department, offsetting in many instances the need to take systems management away from their tight schedule. I also act as direct clerical assistant to the Food Service Manager with respect to clerical support in relation to budgetary matters and other supportive functions.

As part of the Consolidated Food Service Management Team, I routinely deal with issues relating to employee union matters, patient special diet concerns, facility equipment regulation, and facility catering functions.

One of my major accomplishments while at CFS include the complete redesign and computer automation of the facilities production system. The success of my changes results in more efficient and productive flow of operations as is focused on food service production, planning, and management.
