Customer-focused barista and sales professional, skilled in cash handling, inventory control, and excellent guest service.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a customer-first barista and retail sales professional with experience delivering a welcoming in-store experience from open to close. I focus on operational readiness, quality service, and keeping everything stocked, clean, and ready for peak hours.
In my barista role, I craft beverages, warm food, and handle customer orders and cash transactions. I also support food prep by transferring and prepping items for the next day, ensuring smooth service and consistent availability.
As a budtender, I handled inventory audits, cash handling, and patient onboarding by creating new patient accounts. I used the MMUR system to look up prescription rollovers and related doctor/card information, then created and packaged prescription orders while educating customers on cannabis science.
Across sales associate and cashier roles, I provided information, resolved questions, completed point-of-sale transactions, counted registers, and organized product displays. I’m strong in communication, dealing with customer inquiries and complaints, and staying organized so customers feel comfortable and supported.
