Kitchen Porter at The Loading Bay Glasgow (2020-03 – 2023-03)

Maintaining a high level of kitchen hygiene and organisation. This role also introduced me to basic food preparation and storage which was essential for going forward into a Chef role in this kitchen. This role helped me grasp the basics of working in a kitchen environment and how important safety and hygiene are in a working kitchen.

Chef / Barista / Front of House at The Loading Bay Glasgow (2023-03 – Present)

Balancing roles in a busy kitchen, staff are expected to handle a variety of tasks from serving customers to making high quality coffees, stock management as well as food handling and preparation. Jumping between these roles develops a key sense of time management and prioritisation. This array of duties has developed my quality control, customer service and highest level of safety and hygiene within the workplace.

My time here has taught me the importance of good customer service, food/drink presentation and strengthening customer relations that contribute to an overall positive work environment.
