I'm an open-minded, ambitious person who can quickly adapt to new information and environments. I was a dynamic server at Passenger Bar on the night/closing shifts between 7 p.m. and 2:30 a.m., excelling in guest engagement and cash handling. I'm recognized for enhancing bar revenue through strategic upselling, ensuring a clean and compliant environment, and delivering outstanding service in high-pressure situations. I'm motivated to actively engage on a personal level with a flexible approach and a professional demeanor. I'm ready to learn and excel in different cafe/restaurant/bar environments. I'll hold up to an upbeat and friendly interaction with customers to anticipate their needs to facilitate enjoyable dining experiences.
