Summary of Skills:
* Well organized with notable and trustworthy time management skills which guarantees
the completion and quality of any independent work to exceed standard requirements quickly
and efficiently.
* Exceptionally versatile and excellent at working with or if applicable, leading others,
making any transition asked of me from teammate to team leader, effortless. In my current
position if events leave us short staffed, when I am able I happily volunteer to fill whatever role
is needed (ie. server, bartender, host, or food runner, etc.).
* Reliable, responsible, and driven to succeed and surpass others in all endeavors. When
appropriate, I find competitive motivation with good sportsmanship to be a very useful and fun
way to motivate and excel. For example, instigating a friendly shift sales competition can boost
sales and amusement while likely also increasing your own income.
* Quick Learner demonstrating above average multitasking capabilities, and eagerness to
continuously improve and increase occupational knowledge. In between completion of my duties
and shifts, I seek out opportunities to learn other positions, back of house included. It is too easy
to become uninterested or unenthusiastic with something you once enjoyed. The way I approach
that possibility is by looking for something new to learn. I have intruded on shifts such as prep or
salad station, for example. This helps build menu knowledge, but it also leaves the option, in the
case of an emergency, for me to be able to fill in if necessary.
* Honest, virtuous, and self-motivated with a strong work ethic, taking pride in all duties
required. Aways setting realistic, yet ambitious, goals, I have high expectations of myself and
performance. I was religiously taught that anything worth doing, is worth doing right. I believe
you can tell a great deal about a person based off of their performance and overall
demonstrations of initiative.
* Being empathic, I am a great listener and communicator which increases my ability to
anticipate the needs of others. Customers, coworkers, or acquaintances not associated with my
occupation, I strive to help others if, when, and with what I can. I am never still when at work.
Whether I am helping the host stand, servers, bartenders, run food, or our guests, there is always
something to be accomplished.
* Flexible schedule
* 10 years of customer service and salesmanship experience with great, personable people
skills and creative, resourceful problem solving abilities.
* Servsafe certified
