What I'm looking for

I am looking for a positive work environment where I can grow my skills and connect with guests.

My name is Carrie Colvin, and I am a dedicated server and bartender with extensive experience in the hospitality industry. I thrive in fast-paced environments and have a proven track record of creating excellent guest experiences. Currently, I am working at George & Gather, where I have the opportunity to train and open a brand new restaurant concept. My role involves greeting guests, following proper steps of service, and utilizing my wine and cocktail knowledge to enhance the dining experience.

Throughout my career, I have worked in various establishments, including Over Easy and Native Grill & Wings, where I honed my skills in time management, organization, and teamwork. I have successfully served 50-150 guests per day, maintaining composure during busy periods and ensuring that every guest feels valued and attended to. My experience also includes cash handling, inventory management, and food safety certification, which further solidifies my commitment to providing top-notch service.
