Summary
I'm looking for a role where I can gain exciting and new experiences. I have nearly 3 years of experience in the service sector in Istanbul's most popular cafes and restaurants. I have work experience as a cook, kitchen-hand, bartender and barista. I can also take orders from guests and ensure they are satisfied with their experience. I have an RSA certificate, so I can prepare and serve alcohol. I would be happy to work in the kitchen, prepare alcoholic or coffee-based drinks or take orders while keeping guests happy.
