Summary

Adept at enhancing guest experiences and streamlining operations, I excelled at Texas Roadhouse by leveraging exceptional customer service, constructive criticism, taking in the good and repelling bad. My proactive approach resulted in significant efficiency improvements, with a strong emphasis on teamwork and reliability. Known for maintaining high standards under pressure, I consistently exceed performance goals most of the time. I excel in fast-paced environments. Strong focus on teamwork and adaptability, consistently meeting changing needs. Skilled in managing multiple tasks, handling customer inquiries, and maintaining clean and organized workspace. Reliable and results-driven, with positive attitude and great communication skills. When comes to my kitchen expertise, I can be great and cooking, cutting, prepping and etc. Opened/prepped for chipotle so many times and also would make it to where my shift left a hour earlier than usual when I closed the store, in a good condition.
