Hello! My name is Stephanie, recently moved from Seattle, Wa to beautiful Palm Springs. I have several years in the hospitality industry and am confident in my abilities, my priority being friendly and fast customer service. I am courteous to my coworkers, efficient, punctual, and clean. I thrive in a busy, multitasking environment with a big smile and a "thank you." I am an American who speaks three languages, which could be helpful for out of town clientele (French,German,and Spanish). This and experience has helped me connect to a variety of different people in the service industry (from coworkers to patrons), and provide insight on the needs of a regular,loyal and satisfied customer base.
Over the years in this industry, I have excelled in an environment that promotes a harmonious workforce while understanding the importance of keeping the business thriving and growing. I come from a strong family restaurant background that is very involved in local products/vendors and promotes the importance of strengthening ties within one's community. I would love the opportunity to work for an organization that values its employees and in return, accepts the hard work of a sincere team member.
Many thanks for taking the time to read this and I look forward to hearing from you. Have a lovely afternoon.
