Summary
Hi there, my name is Rowan. I have worked in the food service industry for over four years and have found it to be incredibly fulfilling. I deliver friendly, professional customer service and build a strong rapport with customers. I am at my best when placed in a teamwork oriented environment and have been known to consistently demonstrate long-term dependability as an employee. Thank you for your consideration! Fun fact: At my previous establishment, I memorized both the names and orders of over 30 regular customers!
