Summary

I have experience in working long hour shifts up to 12 hours a day and know how to work in stressful environments without sacrificing the quality of service. I am a greatly empathetic person and understanding of people’s needs and know how to apply that mindset into providing a more hospitable customer service. I am an upbeat person who learns fast and has a high work ethic while maintaining attention to detail. I have a sense of urgency coupled with a great love towards humanity and find the utmost value in serving society. I have a little over one year of serving/bar experience in a busy and fast-paced restaurant setting and many years in food service.

I currently have open availability and am open at any time during any day of the week looking for full-time 40hrs/week. I highly prefer morning/day shifts but am open to evening and closing shifts and able to build my plans around my work schedule if need be. I'm primarily retiring from my most recent role as a server at Bahn Thai Restaurant due to scheduling reasons and an interest in making similar to higher pay fulfilling a server role at a different establishment.
