Summary
My experience waiting tables and working in a restaurant comes from working at the best Greek restaurant in or near my hometown. I didn't just memorize the menu, I ate off of it and learned how each item tasted and what made it unique. I am a friendly and reliable server that takes pride in providing excellent customer service and creating memorable dining experiences for restaurant customers in a fast paced and high volume environment. Skilled in anticipating customer needs, addressing complaints and making recommendations based on my knowledge of the menu.
