Waitress/Cashier
My job consisted of many things, from taking orders, being a waitress, cashier and cleaning the restaurant. I worked as the cashier and took orders from the customers; I was also a waitress which meant that I served their food and took it to their table. I was a goal-oriented employee who displayed great customer service and this is why customers kept coming back to the restaurant. My duties also consisted of cleaning after the restaurant closed, I cleaned the tables and floors,
mop and kept the whole restaurant clean. I cleaned the steam table and the restroom too. I was a quick learner, after two days of being trained all this; I learned it by heart and left the whole restaurant spotless.
