Right now I am working at fancy rooftop bar which has cocktails and foods as well. Here is fast paced work environment specially friday saturday nights. I am taking care of 12/14 tables at same time plus taking orders from bar as well. We do not have bussers and runners so you had to be really quick and organized.

Also I have the highest sales, highest tip percentage here. I am incharge of the floor, the private events, graduation parties and wedding welcomings. So it helped me a lot to improve my problem solving, guest satisfaction skills and tought me taking responsibility and take action. Also I had to opportunity worked at behind bar and learned basics of bartending and improved my knowledge about alcohol/cocktails.

It was my first serving experience in United States and I am glad that It was here. The restaurant was super busy specially on weekends and I had to taking care of 8/10 tables at the sametime. It improved my multitasking and focusing a lot. I worked flexible hours across night, weekend, and holiday shifts there. It was the first time I worked with ALOHA and learned that POS system very well.

Also we had events there and working the events helped me to learn and improved my guest satisfaction skills.

It was my favourite job of all time. I started my hospitalty carrier in kitchen and that leaded me here to this job.

I was taking food and beverage orders, serving and preparing high quality food and beverages at the plane for business class passingers.

The standarts was too high, you had to be adapted.

We had appetizer trolley buffet, lunch, dinner,dessert trolley buffet and even more. You had to be quick, neat, organized, clean and multitasking for sure. I do not know how can I explain that job experience but It was like working in a fine dine restaurant at 20.000 feet.

I traveled 30+ countries and I had the opportunity to know other cultures, foods and service better.

I was server here. We were serving fine upscale dining and lunch there. I was taking care of 5/8 table section.I demonstrated strong multitasking skills by managing multiple tables simultaneously without compromising service quality.

It was a really busy restaurant and you had to be stay focused all the time. It was a really good experience for improve my multitasking and capability of solving problems. Guest satisfaction was our first duty. I got my first regulars there.

I started here as a server. We were making private events, private home caterings and private restaurant dinners with our chef. The events were high quality and fine dine. After 5 months, I got promoted as an event manager assistant. I was contacting with the host and planning the events in line with customer satisfaction.

Also I was managing the service team and making sure everything is going smooth, side works/on going side works are done.
