Working in the Whole Foods bakery with a very flexible position, mainly focusing on closing. Preparation of the product to be assembled and packed by the retailers, later to be put out on the main floor. Work with customers writing on cakes and serving out of the glass cake case, while also guiding them to certain aisles/proper help. Heavy time management skills are needed because when you work alone, you're mainly working alone or with one other person during closing hours (I'm primarily a closer), so the responsibility is on you to do your tasks on time.

• Trained new associates in operational procedures and customer service standards for consistency.
• Engaged in regular communication with management regarding store needs and customer feedback.

Being able to work on a line for preparing, setting up, and distributing sandwiches to customers and coworkers alike. Being able to complete closing and preclosing tasks with the possibility of being a dishwasher for the majority of a shift.

• Improved kitchen efficiency by streamlining prep tasks and effectively organizing workstations.
• Boosted employee morale through positive attitude, willingness to assist others when needed.
• Operated kitchen equipment safely and efficiently, adhering to health and safety regulations.
