Summary
Overall I have only ever worked in management positions in restaurants. My current small restaurant that I have been loyal to for the last 6 years is closing its doors within the month due to financial struggles. I am looking to take a step out of the restaurant scene and show case some of my skills in a different field. My overall task management, multitasking skill, good memory, willingness to learn and determination would be an asset to any company.
