Skills

    Working with the public; I enjoy talking to customers and developing rapport with people

    I care deeply about doing quality work, showing up when I am expected, and making sure customers have a great experience

    While I do feel quite comfortable making and serving drinks, I acknowledge that I don't have a lot of experience in a high-volume environment, and I will need to develop those skills I am teachable and happy to learn how I can improve from those with more experience
