Sara Rahola
Lindenhurst, NY *****
***********@*****.***
Hi, my name is Sara Rahola I am 34 years old. I was born on Long Island and have worked here my entire life.
Ever since I was a child I was working in customer service. My grandfather owned Black Forest bakery in Lindenhurst and in my early teens we opened the German restaurant, the Village Lantern. I am an enthusiastic and seasoned professional with a lifelong dedication to the restaurant and bakery industry.
I immersed myself in the dynamic world of culinary arts at a young age and have invaluable experience and expertise in the various roles which encompass every aspect in a family-owned establishment.
With a solid foundation in restaurant operations, customer service, and management, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a proven track record of delivering exceptional dining experiences. My passion for hospitality, coupled with my extensive background in customer service, exceeding expectations and creating memorable moments for patrons I feel gives me an edge against other eligible candidates. I am eager to leverage my diverse skill set and passion for the culinary arts in contributing to a new dynamic team. Thank you
