Hi, I’m

Cory Bray

Medford,OR

Summary

I would consider myself a leader and problem-solver. During my year so far at Lava Lanes Of Medford I have proven my ability to enhance customer satisfaction and team efficiency. I have excelled in high-volume dining, mastering multitasking and order accuracy while serving for the bowling leagues 3-4 days a week. Sometimes juggling up to 30+ tabs covering 10-14 lanes/tables. Known for exceptional customer service and a strong work ethic, I significantly improved repeat business by fostering a culture of teamwork and collaboration. I am regularly sought after by the league bowlers because they appreciate my service. Often asking and even hoping that they are in my section that night. I have received many great customer reviews by utilizing our businesses survey sheets. My coworkers feel comfortable asking me for help with the POS system or how to input certain orders because I have fostered that welcoming relationship and maintain a positive attitude. I am always willing to help if I have an open hand, moment or knowledge pertaining to the question a coworker may have.
