Summary

I have experience working in fast-paced restaurant environments, including Chipotle and CAVA, and a full-service restaurant where I served as both Host and Expo. My roles have taught me strong multitasking, communication, and customer service skills.

As a host/expo, I managed reservations through OpenTable, greeted and seated guests, assisted with to-go orders, ran food, and maintained the dining area and expo line. At Chipotle and CAVA, I worked on the line preparing and assembling orders efficiently while maintaining food safety and quality standards. I’m skilled at working under pressure, staying organized, and supporting both front- and back-of-house operations to deliver great guest experiences.
