Restaurant worker seeking new opportunities to learn and grow across food service and kitchen roles.
What I'm looking for
I’m a hardworking restaurant professional who has spent most of their time working in busy service environments, and I’m now seeking opportunities to learn new things and get into different kinds of work.
In dishwashing and food service roles, I kept stations running by washing, drying, and putting away dishes quickly, maintaining a clean dish room, and taking on tasks like deep cleaning once a week. I also supported end-of-shift closeout work, including sweeping and mopping floors and staying ready when the kitchen needed help.
As a line cook and prep cook, I focused on dependable food preparation under pressure—portioning and prepping food for service, stocking fridges and freezers, and alternating between the fryer and other cooking stations. I also prepared sauces by hand, sliced and portioned ingredients for orders, and assisted the chef with whatever the team needed.
I’ve also worked directly with customers as a barista, where I greeted people, made hot and iced beverages, plated and boxed pastries and macarons, and handled cashier duties and phone reservations. Earlier on, I gained communication and sales practice as a phone sales associate through cold calling and pitching offers with a genuine, non-robotic approach.
