Work History

Waitress

Sushi Sake Sheridan
Pembroke Pines, Florida
08.2024 - 10.2024
  • As a waitress, I was tasked with learning the basics of training, such as first memorizing and identifying each and every item of food and drink on the menu, understanding the layout of the machinery when taking orders through the phone, or paying for seated customers' bills, what every type of food looked like, and memorizing the layout of the kitchens, fridges, and backrooms.
  • When waitressing, the ability to communicate with each individual that walks through the front door with ease, professionally, and friendliness has to be second nature. For me, this is my favorite aspect about working this tiresome job, because I am extremely extroverted and quick-witted. I am also known for being very well-spoken and can manage any scenario with any customer very adequately.
  • This job requires you to be on your feet almost the entire time you're on the clock, assist guests in every way you can while providing them with the best experience possible, understand the payment processes and math calculations promptly to avoid mistakes with their bills, practice good health and cleanliness manners and policies, participate, help out, and get along with your fellow employees and bosses, and on top of everything else, keep a steady and calm head on your shoulders.
  • I understood that this type of work is not easy whatsoever, but because I do have a passion for serving customers and genuinely enjoy this kind of chaotic atmosphere, I feel I can be of great assistance to any workplace similar to this position.

02.2024 - 04.2024
  • This was my very first job. I was tasked with memorizing the entirety of the menus, each food and drink item, along with learning what they all contained and their possible modifications.
  • After this, I was immediately trained in learning the basics of working in the food business. I assisted customers in any way I could, taking their orders down with little to no mistakes.
  • I was constantly maintaining a clean and prepared workspace, while also bussing around to keep all tables and customer surfaces adequate.
  • I helped restock as much as I could, and being a quick learner, I understood what was the almost perfect amount for each container.
  • Before and after shift periods are extremely important, so I take diligent time to prepare the restaurant for the day, and close the restaurant for the night, ensuring everything is in the proper placements.
  • Most of all, I learned at this job the importance of communication. I always made sure to ask questions when I was confused, to better myself at the job any way I could. On top of that, I became great at holding appropriately friendly conversations with customers, and while keeping it professional, I grew bonds with the individuals that would come in and out frequently.
