Work History

Server/ Trainer

Ilsole Cucina
09.2020 - Current

I open the restaurant and make sure to get it ready for success. Also make sure that all of the menus and all of the items we need for that day are all set and ready to go so we can have a night shift. Prepared the stations for the servers and guide them thru all of the new items and specials for that evening. At the end of the shift also make sure I checked all of the sidework is all done and make sure to leave the restaurant ready for the next day.
