Hello! My name is Marina Alexander, I am replying in regards to your ad for Server at Mellow Mushroom. I would be a great fit because I am a very hard worker, reliable, experienced and it shows through my work. I am very good with customer service of any kind. In the restaurant business, I am familiar with a POS system, cocktails/drinks/alcoholic beverages, pre-bussing, high volume, food running, garnishing and food menu memorization. I am very positive and never let personal issues follow me to work! If you have anything further questions please feel free to contact me via email/call/text. Below I have listed my resume along with my contact information. I look forward to hearing from you! Warmest regards, Marina Alexander.
