With 10 years under his belt, Mario has become an irreplaceable member of the Foodtown team. He knows more about deli and appetizers than anyone in the Five Towns. EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT: Mario Pavlovic Messin’ With the 5 Towns Delicatessen There’s not a single task that is above Mario’s doing. He embodies the team approach that we truly value in all of our employees. “I’ll do whatever needs to be done,” says Mario. “Cheese, salads, homemade products — everything. Whatever needs to be done, I’ll do it.” But Mario doesn’t credit his relentless work ethic or commitment to Foodtown’s values. “My employees do everything. I have a great crew, and without them, I wouldn’t be able to do what I do. All the credit goes to them.” Working as a manager at Foodtown is a multifaceted role. “I make orders, and I make sure everything is tidy,” says Mario. “Then there’s sales numbers and inventory. I need to make the schedule that works for my employees. I like management. I love leading my team to new heights.” Mario’s style embodies the empowerment of his team. “I believe every employee is good for something,” he says. “It’s up to me to try and find the best way for them to succeed.” That’s a big part of why Mario’s team loves working with him and why the service at Foodtown of Hewlett is unbeatable.
Ask any employee about their favorite part of their job, and you’ll get a variety of responses. Mario’s answer is a perfect example of why he is our employee spotlight for this month: “My favorite part of work is when I can teach something to someone new.” Of course, he is quick to mention the people who make our company work. “I’ve known our customers for so long. I know them better than my neighbors. My employees and customers are the most important parts of my job.”
Swing on by the Five Towns today and say hi to Mario.
He’ll show you the best cut of prosciutto around.
