John Palacio
Summary
Over four years of customer service and a year and a half of handling food and serving guests. Always have strived to make guests feel as welcome as possible while still bringing in extra income for the restaurant by recommending and upselling even better dishes that we offer. Looking to transfer my skills in working with people and persuasiveness in upselling to the sales industry.
