Gained experience in serving hot, delicious food while maintaining friendly atmosphere. Ran food, seated customers and discussed menu options. Kept dining area clean with proactive attention to departing guests, empty plates, and messes
While being a food runner at Gandalf's, I was in charge of ensuring that all orders were correct before leaving the kitchen, checking all dishes before delivering them to ensure quality standards were met, and ensuring that all orders were at the correct temperature and presentation. When I wasn't present in the kitchen, I would provide assistance with cleaning plates from the table after meals were completed. I assisted servers in setting up tables for guests and cleaned and sanitized work areas throughout the shift, including countertops, floors, and equipment. Some skills I learned were how to properly deliver food to guests in a timely manner while following safety protocols, responding promptly to customer inquiries and requests for additional items or services, collaborating with kitchen staff to manage order accuracy and address any discrepancies, and following proper sanitation guidelines when handling food products.
