Summary

Hardworking, friendly, and knowledgeable server trained in nearly every facet of a successful restaurant. Growing up in a restaurant atmosphere with my dad being a bar owner my whole life, I'm very comfortable being behind the counter/bar. Starting off as a server with no experience and being an extremely fast learner, I worked my way of to knowing all positions within a year, front and back of house. Dependable cook and server with expertise in preparing foods in fast-paced environments. Team-minded professional knowledgeable in food safety, attractive presentation, stock management and efficient multitasking. With these skills, I believe I will be a perfect fit for any restaurant.
