  • Cash & POS Administration: Count tills, prepare deposits, reconcile daily sales, run end-of-day POS reports, and document cash over/short.
  • Scheduling & Timekeeping: Help build and adjust deli staff schedules to meet coverage and labor targets; review and approve timecards.
  • Reporting: Review daily and weekly sales, cost, and waste reports; track deli performance and surface opportunities and corrective actions to the Food Service Manager.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
