• Assistant Manager

  • May 2011 - Aug 2011

  I oversee all aspects of running a restaurant in order to provide exceptional service to our guests. As manager, my job is to be there first in the morning and be the last one leaving at night. Hours are long and tiring but I have the patience and customer service is always on my mind. I have to be adaptive and quick to make decisions or situations will arise. I am always empathetic but also cautious of each scenario in front of me.

• Waitstaff

  • May 2009 - May 2011

  As a waitress I studied a complex menu and how to sell a dish, I adapted to each customer to better serve them according to the occasion and nature. I quickly learned how to read guests to better know when they would need my attention and when they would rather be left alone. I carried large trays of heavy dishes and sloshy drink orders. I did wine presentations and chef special presentations along with dessert monologues. I bussed tables, set tables, and learned how to multitask all of these skills during a busy night. Show less
