Summary
I started working as a dishwasher when i was about 16 for around a year than quickly started transitioning onto line learning all sections and procedures and have worked Sauté for nearly 8 years now. I have experienced a lot in the kitchen and have worked extremely busy nights and work very well under pressure and know how to check and make sure the rest of the kitchen isn’t drowning to make sure food goes up at roughly the same time and make sure there’s communication amongst the staff. Aside from kitchen experience I have also learned a lot from taking STICS in high school which taught me a lot about building houses and the trades.
