Summary
Detail-oriented kitchen prep cook with expertise in food preparation, customer service, and efficient multitasking. Committed to maintaining organization and enhancing customer satisfaction. Adaptive to schedule changes and making things work for the business aswell as not being afraid to pick up slack for a company who values me. Attention to detail and asking questions is a very common thing that I have carried through my jobs aswell as into personal life, understanding why something is done in a certain way allows me to learn faster and explain it to new hires and others who need help. Communication and idea bouncing have played a huge role in developing my identity within the work force and being able to make the best possible plan and layout based on strengths and weaknesses of everyone in the group to be efficient and effective in all aspects of the tasks at hand.
