What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated hospitality professional with four years of specialised experience delivering premium food and beverage services within luxury resorts and high-volume hotels. I combine rigorous HACCP food-safety standards with personalised villa and fine-dining service for international clientele, consistently achieving exceptional guest-satisfaction ratings.
My hands-on experience includes formal multi-course silver service for VIP parties, inventory and waste-reduction improvements, and upselling premium beverages to increase average checks. I have successfully coordinated distributed service across resorts and executed private events while mentoring junior staff to maintain consistent luxury standards.
I hold a Bachelors in Hospitality and Hotel Management and am proficient with industry tools such as Micros and Simphony POS, Oracle NetSuite, and mobile ordering platforms. I seek to bring my attention to detail, guest-focused ethos, and operational reliability to an international server role in luxury service environments.
