Spencer Montgomery
Summary
Versatile and dynamic, with a proven track record at Farmers Gastropub, I excel in staff management and meal preparation. Leveraging strong communication and customer service skills, I significantly enhanced kitchen efficiency and food quality, while also significantly decreasing food cost, and food inventory.
While having no mechanic positions on my record, I have some schooling and am currently renrolling for my ASE certifications and associates degree. I have worked on vehicles of all kinds and all years without fail.
Empathetic and confident towards other coworkers and myself, with years of customer service experience, I strive to make myself and the environment surrounding me hospitable, and productive.
