Small business owner at I am in the process of taking over a restaurant that has been in my family, where I have worked since I was 14. I began running it at 16, but my role became much more serious this year. The restaurant is located right by campus, and I manage its social media, handle promotions, and work primarily on the grill to ensure the food goes out well.
