Summary
Driven restaurant server with several years of foodservice experience. Skillful in memorizing detailed menus for thorough customer education. Commended and recognized for maintaining positive attitude and great sense of humor during peak hours.
As you may have noticed the gap in my resume, I’d like to clarify that I took a break from serving to work in construction and quarry operations while also earning my CDL. Although it was a valuable experience, I’m now ready and excited to return to the restaurant industry.
