Summary
Responsible Lead Bartender skilled at making custom drinks and maximizing business revenues with top-notch service. Works well with team members to meet all customer needs in fast-paced environments. Good money handling, problem-solving and time management abilities. However, I am looking for a new job outside of the restaurant industry because I would like more of a challenge. I've been in and out of restaurants for over 15 years.
