  Pirates Cove Restaurant

  Nov 2017 - Sept 2019

  Pirates Cove Restaurant Hostess, Busser, Server

  Began as a hostess for the restaurant. Managed the customers as the restaurant got busy and customers became impatient because tables were not available. Also, estimated the time that sitting customers would be finished in order to give a wait time to the people waiting. Took to-go orders and communicated with other employees and managers to keep the restaurant running smoothly and the customers happy. After about a year, I switched to a busser to learn more about serving. Spoke with bartenders and servers to help them be able to serve the customers better. Learned food orders and worked with the kitchen staff to get the food out faster. Time management skills were needed because a lot of tasks needed to be done in a short amount of time before it became to much to handle. Became a server and needed more communication skills in order to discuss the menu and understand the needs of the customers. Managed multiple tables at once over long eight hour shifts, learned the computer system to put in orders and how to work around customers who wanted to have a good time. Worked well with other servers to support each other when the restaurant got busy to keep the customers satisfied. Show less
