Dallas,TX

Summary

In high-energy environments like STK and Kitchen + Kocktails, my biggest achievement was mastering table turn-around times without sacrificing the 'vibe.' I developed a system for pre-bussing and resetting tables that allowed our section to seat 20% more guests during peak shifts, directly increasing the team’s tip pool and the restaurant’s nightly revenue.
