California native Bina Patel is the Restaurant General Manager (RGM) of our San Francisco Taco Bell Cantina, which recently underwent a remodel. We caught up with her after the dust settled on the restaurant refresh!
Bina’s love for cooking is what initially drew her to work in the restaurant business. She came to DRG with 15 years of experience working in a Taco Bell Express. What’s this foodie’s favorite Taco Bell menu item? The Vegetarian Crunch Wrap — that’s so San Fran! But it’s opportunity that has kept Bina with the company for six years.
“I believe DRG has great opportunities to grow your career,” she says.
SUCCESS IN SALES & SUPPORT
Bina says positive feedback is what motivates her to work hard every day. But she doesn’t let a little negative feedback get her down either! Bina says she uses negative feedback as a learning opportunity to energize her desire to do better next time.
“I like to set up my goals and demolish them!” -Bina Patel, RGM
Bina currently has her sights set on breaking her sales goal for the year. And the key to her success is support. “My family and my team inspire me to [do] hard work,” she shares.
Bina also credits her Area Coach (AC), James Aman, for being a good role model. “His work energy makes me inspired to learn something new every day in my General Manager role,” she shares.
This may explain why Bina’s career goal is to become an AC herself. Bina, we look forward to seeing you crush that goal as well!
