What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a customer-first café or hospitality team where I can deliver memorable service, work efficiently with POS, and support smooth daily operations. I enjoy welcoming environments and I’m ready to help with inventory, training, and consistent quality.

I’m a customer-focused Barista and Bar Manager who builds memorable experiences through friendly, efficient service. I “create a rapport with customers” by learning names and favorite drinks, and I’m “ServSafe Certified” with a strong commitment to health and sanitation.

Across my roles, I manage fast-paced service while maintaining high-quality, consistent standards. I “accurately process transactions in the POS system,” prepare coffee and espresso drinks, and support a clean, welcoming work environment. I also prepare baked goods, foods, smoothies, and other drinks with quality.

I bring reliability and organization from administrative and leadership experience, including office work like “data entry,” typing, scanning, copying, and filing, plus bar leadership like scheduling, delegating tasks, inventory control, and budgets. I’m excited to bring my hospitality, operations mindset, and customer satisfaction focus to a team that values smooth daily execution.
