Summary
Hey there, a little about myself: I have over 15 years of dynamic hospitality experience across bakeries, cafes, and events as a waiter, barista, and cook.
I bring great energy and positivity to all my jobs. I work exceedingly well with a team, take instruction, and follow procedure to the highest standard.
During my time at Buddy Espresso, I excelled in customer service, and as the primary cook and FOH for the better part of the last two years in a high-demand environment. I have a proven ability to train staff, manage inventory, and order effectively, as well as ensure high-quality standards and safety. In each inception of my career, I've enhanced team collaboration, delivered orders timely and of the highest quality, while maintaining a clean, organized workspace, contributing to a consistently high customer and team satisfaction rate.
