Summary

I have been in the service industry for the last 24 years and a bartender for the last 20 years until my switch over to management positions. I have great people skills and can handle changes in work environments and arising situations with ease. I am a fast learner and take pride in always giving excellent guest service. I work well with others and prefer to work together as a team to be the most proficient in providing the best experience for the guest. In management positions it gave me the ability to polish off the service around the whole restaurant to ensure the best service possible. Highly motivated employee with desire to take on new challenges. Devoted to giving every guest a positive and memorable experience.
