I am constantly aspiring to acquire new skills and methods of practice. I enjoy solving problems as they arise, as well as taking preventative measures to avoid them. I'm a skilled restaurant team member with a strong background in Front Of House, I work great with my team members and am always seeking to provide positive customer service experiences. I am well versed in cashiering, order prep, restocking, closing, cleaning, sanitizing, and dining room management. Additionally, I function well in high-stress/high volume environments. I'm also flexible and can easily switch positions when needed. This ensures to meet demand; and all areas at Front of House are ran swiftly and most important, successfully.
I have gained a great deal of experience in the Bock Of House as well. I am a committed team member with two years preparing food items, maintaining kitchen order and cleanliness, and taking orders at the cash register. Accommodating guest needs is something that I take seriously. That is why I am highly accurate when preparing orders with special requests and substitutions. I am a dedicated team player when communicating with others to meet customer needs.
Additionally, I am someone who has an eye for detail and wants to ensure that the product served to the customer is of the highest quality, especially when it comes to food. Food safety is one of my greatest priorities, and I will do my best to give guests the best experience possible when I encounter them.
