What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a fast-paced, customer-first role where I can use my cash-handling and POS skills, keep operations organized and clean, and lead by example to help the team hit service and sales goals.

I’m a dedicated, customer-focused professional with experience in retail and high-volume food service. I accurately process cash, card, and digital payments, lead by example, and keep service smooth in fast-paced environments.

At McDonald’s, I coordinated drive-thru operations, prepared food to company quality and food safety standards, and maintained clean, organized workstations while restocking inventory and supplies. At Five Below, I greeted customers, supported store initiatives, ran the cash register, and helped create a welcoming shopping experience.
