Summary

While truly being a people person by nature, I feel I have much to offer a business whose main objective is to provide quality service, create regular customers, and shape an enthusiastic team environment. I fully understand that as a bartender or server, I am the face of the restaurant. I feel I have an excellent grasp of what it means to create an outstanding experience for all guests. My upbeat, positive personality, and go-getter attitude has helped me to not only excel in this industry, but has also helped me to create friendly, welcoming atmospheres, return customers, and wonderful rapport among patrons. I ve been in customer service for around nine years, having served for two, and bartended for one. I feel tending bar has magnified my strengths, fine tuned my customer service skills, and allowed me to take my talents to the next level. I have retained proficient knowledge of full restaurant service, food, wines, craft beer, food pairings, high volume dining, and bartending. I am seeking a position in a fast paced, team oriented restaurant, pub, or activities venue.
