Travel Trainer/Server/Bartender
Eureka! Restaurant Group
Bakersfield, United States
12.2016 - 10.2020
I began working as a host in 2016, and quickly rose through the ranks to a server
This included working with other team members to provide superior customer service to guests whilst managing multiple groups and tasks
I continued to elevate to Travel Trainer, a position in which I would travel to new restaurant openings and train their staff on their positions
Eventually I became a bartender, which carried the same responsibilities as a server, with the added responsibility of serving alcohol
Bartending also required monitoring the alcohol consumption of patrons, and preventing them from being over-served
