Summary
I have been in the food industry since I was 16 years old. Coming up in march will be my third year working in a restaurant and I believe that experience has given me a clear understanding of how to act, treat customers, communicate with management and co-workers, and treat the restaurant. Although I have only been a full on server for about four months now I have the knowledge of what a server is, and how to be an affective server. It is my job to make sure that the customer has and exceptional dining experience and I will always do my best to create that for the customer.
