Summary
The friendly and generous reception and entertainment of guests, visitors, or strangers. Hospitality, is not only what I specialize in, it has become my way of life. I have found that this type of work carries on throughout the day before and after work. Knowing the sequence of service and depth of description for interests that guests have is something I pride myself on.
