RICHELLE DROLETTE

**** ********* ** **, **** Bay, FL, 32909, US • 863-***-**** • ****************@*****.*** I have worked in the food related business since my first job at Mario's Deli in NY, when I was only 15. I have worked all in parts of the house. I have been a bartender, server, host and cook. I have stocked, cleaned, check dates on must be labeled food, done a lot of food preperation, answer phones, take orders, work any register (i started on the ones you had to look at the tag and type it in...no scanners), and I have managed a bar. I am hard working, loyal, honest, never calls out, always on time, comes in on days off, kind of girl, who loves my kids and pets, that I just want the best for them.
