Qudsi Sweets

Helping my dad run Qudsi Sweets was an adventure that involved multitasking and learning on the go. With over 500 customer interactions daily, I took on everything from managing sales to solving last-minute inventory hiccups. I also managed a team of six employees, delegating tasks like restocking shelves and working with customers to keep things running smoothly. Whether behind the register or chatting with customers on the floor, I ensured every experience was as sweet as our treats.

Some of my favorite moments came from interacting with customers. Every conversation was like a little nugget of wisdom, with customers sharing stories or simply brightening my day. Working at Qudsi Sweets gave me hands-on experience in running a business, honing my management, customer service, and sales skills while also helping me improve efficiency and business strategy. Every day came with its own set of challenges, but the lessons I learned were invaluable. It was always worth it to see the smiles our sweets brought to the community.
