Lola Wiedenhoff
@lolawiedenhoff
Dedicated hospitality professional with strong customer service skills.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated hospitality worker with hands-on experience in fast-paced, family-owned restaurants and guest-facing roles at attractions. I thrive on building relationships with regulars, delivering attentive service, and learning new tasks quickly.
My background includes food running, serving, hosting, cashiering, photography for guest experiences, and retail sales; I am comfortable with point-of-sale systems, basic IT, and Canon photography tools. I take pride in problem solving, public speaking, and maintaining disciplined, reliable attendance.
I bring a strong service ethic demonstrated through paid roles and volunteer work caring for elderly neighbors, dog walking, and weekly food preparation and distribution for the houseless through my church. I am eager to continue growing in customer-focused hospitality roles where I can contribute consistently and learn new skills.
