Joele Castelli

San Diego

Summary

Hello my name is Joele Castelli, I was born originally in Sicily (Italy), but now I live in San Diego California.

When I came to San Diego I worked for some Italian Restaurants, that gave me the opportunity to grow. I started as a Busser and little by little I made my way up to become, first a Server and then Manager.

I've always worked in Restaurants, back home my Family owns Restaurants, so I started very young at the age of 15, since then I've always been in the Industry.

I love to talk to people and to take good care of them, if a costumer isn't happy I will do everything possible to make them have a good time and to have them come back to eat.

Work History

Assistant Manager/Server

Buona Forchetta
05.2024 - Current

Manager

Buona Forchetta
09.2021 - 05.2024

I started to work for Buona Forchetta on February 2021 and by the end of the year I got promoted to Manager, for all of my hard work and responsability.

I always prioritize the place where I work.

Always present and always on call even on my day off, willing to cancel plans to go to work.


When I started Manager at Buona Forchetta, I had to do Schedules, Payroll, Counting Tips, Counting Cash and Credit Card sales, Inventory, Ordering Food, Wine, Beer, Liquor and everything needed for the restaurant.


Every week with chef we would create a Specialty Menu with Food and Drinks (besides the regular menu that we have as everyday), just to give the costumer an opportunity to try something different that we didn't have on the menu.

I was going around the tables and talking to costumers, making sure that their experience was going good, that the food was good and that the costumer service was excellent.


I had all the responsability of the restaurant has if it was mine.

Server

Buona Forchetta
02.2021 - 09.2021

I've worked all my life in Restaurants.

I'm very good with clients and always make them leave happy, so that way they can return to eat and have another wonderful experience with us.


I always take good care of the costumer and to the people I have around, for me respect comes before anything else.


I like to explain menu items to costumer that way they know what they are eating before the food gets to the table.


Before starting a shift I always go check with Manager and Chef if everything is in stock and if we had any changes on the menu that I need to be aware of.
