Summary

I work in both the front of house and the kitchen, so I’m familiar with all areas of the restaurant. Right now, I’m a trainer, which means I help new team members learn the ropes and support anyone who needs a hand with tasks or tricky situations. I also help lead the team during closing shifts to make sure everything gets done smoothly. I train in both the front and back, so I can jump in wherever I’m needed.
