Summary
Skilled in fast working environments, willing to help anyone out if need-be. I can adjust food items to a customer's needs (allergies or food related health concerns). I clean my work environment, making sure it's tidy and up to standards of working. I always try to keep myself busy however possible. I prefer high levels of communication and understanding/equal level of respect from managers to keep a peaceful state of mind but I can and will do what is told and necessary of me to fulfill my duties.
