Work History

Server

Gaja Korean Bar
06.2021 - 11.2023

Worked with a POS system that frequently experienced problems, and learned how to manage troubleshooting issues while still giving attention to the customers.


During the last 6 months I worked at Gaja the restaurant we went viral online and had unprecedented volume, so I am able to handle quick-paced work environments.


The majority of the time I worked at Gaja we did not have a FOH floor manager, so as servers we managed ourselves/each other giving me leadership and diplomacy skills.
