Summary

With over 11 years of experience in the restaurant industry, I have worked in various roles including server, manager, bartender, server lead, and cook. Throughout my career, I have gained valuable management experience (2 years), effectively leading and directing staff while maintaining a pleasant customer service environment. As a server lead for 1.5 years, I trained every new server that joined our team. My passion lies in providing excellent service and ensuring a positive experience for guests. Seeing them leave with a smile on their face brings me immense satisfaction. Interacting with different individuals daily is something I truly enjoy. I am dedicated to continuous improvement and strive to be better each day.
