Zach Parker
Portsmouth,NH
Summary
- In the restaurant I am a high performing worker skilled at welcoming guests and overseeing dining operations. Proficient in balancing server loads, kitchen staff limits and customer desires. Calm and level-headed in all types of situations.
- In my retail life, I am working to greet customers, ask about their day, and help them with questions they may have about the store. Every day I work to sell warranty’s and have customers apply for the credit cards which are talked about before the shift starts. I am also required to hold a steady percentage of warranty’s per sale and credit cards per sale. These require me to preserve at my job, and give me a good and steady goal for the day.
- At home, I play piano and do theatre with a local group called ‘Upside Arts’ performing shows such as, Elf Jr. (Starring as Buddy the Elf), Children of Eden, and most recently, Big Fish.
