I had the pleasure of working with Luke at Wendy's International for 4 years and 1 year with Baja Fresh. At Wendy’s International, Luke oversaw the daily operations so I could focus on my training responsibilities. Luke followed the standards that Wendy’s set forth to help us run one of the top Wendy’s in the Twin Cities market. Luke’s dedication to the standards and procedures was a great asset and gave me the confidence to let him assist with the management training. I left Wendy’s to take an opportunity with Baja Fresh to start a new Franchise in the Twin Cities, and Luke was my first choice to bring with. At Baja Fresh, Luke assisted in the hiring and training of approximately 40 employees and two managers. Luke’s dedication and passion for running a great restaurant would be an asset for any company.
