With several years of experience in hospitality, I have developed a strong understanding of both guest service and the day-to-day operations required to create a successful dining experience. I worked in a variety of Front of House roles, including Assistant General Manager, server, host, runner, and busser. As an Assistant General Manager, I was responsible for overseeing the floor plan, managing reservations and walk-ins, supporting the service team, and helping ensure that the restaurant maintained a smooth and welcoming flow throughout the shift.
My experience as a server also taught me the importance of being attentive without being intrusive, understanding the menu and ingredients, communicating clearly with the kitchen, and creating a genuine connection with guests.
Working across different FOH positions has given me a well-rounded perspective of hospitality. I understand how much teamwork goes into a successful service, and I am comfortable stepping in wherever I am needed to support both my guests and my coworkers. I take pride in being organized, observant, and calm in a fast-paced environment, while maintaining a high standard of service.
