Reece Kirby

I am a friendly, hardworking and confident individual with experience working as a waiter alongside my career in hairdressing. Due to the restaurant I currently work at changing ownership, I am now looking for a new opportunity within a restaurant where I can continue to build on my hospitality experience. I really enjoy working in a restaurant environment and particularly enjoy the customer-facing side of the role.

I have experience taking orders, serving food and drinks, clearing and resetting tables, managing bills and payments, and helping to ensure customers have an enjoyable experience. My background in hairdressing has also given me excellent communication and customer service skills. I am confident working with people, remain calm in busy environments and work well as part of a team.

I am reliable, approachable and hardworking, and I am looking forward to joining a new restaurant team where I can continue developing my skills and experience.
