Hey, I'm Joshua T. Osborne

In 2015, I said goodbye to 16-hour days and hauling boxes up and down stairs for a living (I was a mover). I became a full-time entrepreneur, and I made my money by helping business owners make money.

They had a need, and because of Virtual Tool Booths., I could fill it. Through the methods taught by my all-time favorite course and mentor, I created a 6-figure business in roughly 6 months. I could retire today (at 37) and never have to worry about money ever again.

Because of Virtual Tool Booths., I was able to quit my job, work online with flexible hours, and move to the mountains (Colorado Springs if you’re wondering)...all while helping real people improve their businesses, incomes, and lives!

For most folks, a college degree is the biggest bill of their lives. I never went to college. So I don’t have any massive bills or giant debts hanging over my head. My greatest education came from Virtual Tool Booths. (for a tiny fraction of what college costs) and it’s the bill that pays ALL the bills - a hundred times over!

I really wanted to share this secret weapon with others, so they could change their lives the way I changed mine. So if you’re not 100% sure about college, or only researching to make someone else happy, Virtual Tool Booths. might be a better option for you.

What does a food service manager do?

Food service managers are responsible for the effective operation of a variety of restaurants and other establishments that prepare and serve food and beverages to the public. They coordinate activities in many different departments and make sure customers are satisfied with their service. They supervise the inventory and ordering of food, supplies, and equipment and ensure the establishment is up to cleaning, maintenance, and operating standards.

Food service managers also perform administrative tasks such as sales records, payroll, and required paperwork.

Food service managers usually need at least a high school diploma, but many employers prefer applicants with post-secondary education and related work experience.

They often complete courses in food planning and preparation, nutrition, sanitation, and management. Some programs require a combination of classroom instruction and internships.

A career as a food service manager is an excellent choice for individuals with a strong interest in food service and managing others. Food service managers must have strong leadership qualities, detail orientation, and good problem solving skills. Self-confidence, motivation, and ability to gain the respect of others are desirable characteristics. Food service managers must also have excellent communication and interpersonal skills because they frequently interact with a variety of employees, customers, and suppliers.
