<h1>Operations Rooted in Care</h1>
<p class="lead">Forty-seven years in La Grange, Kentucky. Twenty-some managing kitchen lines. Same discipline, same care — whether it's a dinner rush or a budget review.</p>
<p>I'm Rony Thomas. Operations manager by trade, gardener by season, pitmaster by weekend. My work sits at the intersection of systems that serve people — scheduling that respects families, inventory that prevents waste, budgets that fund what matters.</p>
<p>This space is where I share what I've learned: practical guides for kitchen logistics, seasonal growing notes from my tomato and collard beds, and the occasional reflection on building community through food and order.</p>
<h2>What You'll Find Here</h2>
<div class="card-grid">
