Summary
I am a dedicated, engaging server who strives to provide the best possible experience to all guests that I am fortunate enough to serve. I have an abundance of experience not only as a server, but as a manager and line cook as well. These experiences have helped shape me into an ideal candidate for any establishment that is looking to improve their roster.
My professional approach and and kind nature have served me well for years, and I am looking to expand my skill set. After over 10 years with my current employer, I believe I am ready to take on new challenges and further develop myself as a server in the restaurant industry. If you should take a chance on me, I fully believe that it will be a mutually beneficial decision for all involved.
I look forward to working with you,
Jeff Ritter
