Miranda Shands

St Louis,MO

Summary

10 years of restaurant experience in fast-paced, casual, and semi-upscale dining environments. Highly adaptable and able to thrive under pressure while maintaining exceptional service standards. Loves to be a team player who brings positive energy and professionalism to the workplace.

Experienced with bar service, including proper pour counts and preparation of classic cocktails such as Old Fashioneds, Martinis, and French 75s. Trained in proper wine and champagne service, always praised on my ability to quickly memorize and retain beer and spirits menus. Love to keep up with brands and product knowledge to enhance guest experience and drive sales.
