Summary
I was a proactive restaurant hostess skilled in managing high-pressure situations while ensuring seamless service. I personally strive for strong communication and organizational tendencies, consistently delivering optimal guest experiences and maintaining a clean flowing dining environment.
Earls Kitchen + Bar is known for it's busiest season being centered around Bellevue's Holiday tradition of Snowflake Lane. During the month of December, most nights their would be around 400-500 covers. Quickly I learned how to work in an intense fast paced environment while simultaneously keeping track of availability and wait times.
