      As a server, I have to prepare the restaurant for opening by cleaning, stocking, and organizing before customers come in. I greet them and take their orders, always making sure to repeat their order back to them so I know for sure what they are getting. I also memorized a 50+ food and drink item menu to make sure I can assist customers with any allergy or diet issues they may have. I am always readily available to assist a customer, my coworkers, or my managers whenever they need help.

I am always readily available to assist a customer, my coworkers, or my managers whenever they need help. I can also perform the occasional bottle service. As a hostess, I greet and seat customers and ensure that they know that their first experience in the restaurant was with a smile and a friendly face. I also take calls for delivery and pickup orders, and handle faxes from several food delivery websites, such as Seamless and GrubHub. I also schedule reservations, and assist the servers with tables if they are overwhelmed with a particular task.

      At GameStop, I always made myself available to customers whenever they had a question about a particular video game or system they were looking to buy. I was expected to have knowledge of various gaming genres, system specs and store promotions and needed to be able to give customers a clear, friendly, and informative experience every time they entered the store. I worked behind the counter, selling games and assessing quality of games being brought in for the trade-in deals.

      In order to be prepared to receive customers, I cleaned, organized and restocked the restaurant during an opening shift. I greeted and took customers' orders, always ready to help them understand the ingredients inside of the rolls and making sure to address any allergies or dietary restrictions they had. I also memorized a menu of 100+ rolls and appetizers, and had to learn the Japanese names for every type of fish and sushi roll on the menu.

      At A.J.'s, I opened the cafe by making coffee, stocking coolers, and prepping the kitchen in the back. I would not only take customers' orders, but cook their food as well--I prepared sandwiches, breakfast, pizzas, and burgers among other simple meals. I also made a variety of espresso drinks and prepared smoothies and milkshakes, and was trusted to close the cafe and count the cash drawer without manager supervision.
