Summary

Experienced restaurant worker in a variety of roles. Able to complete tasks productively and maintain quality customer service in a fast-paced restaurant environment. Specialized skills include reservation management, customer service experience, cooking, and communication with other staff members. Due to my previous experience in both front-of-house and back-of-house roles, I thoroughly understand how a restaurant works, and I am capable of a wide range of positions. I'm always looking for new ways to make the restaurant work smoothly and productively.
