      Food and Beverage Assistant

      I was a part of the waiting team for the 4 start hotel and restaurant. Being a waiter in the restaurant meant that I had to take food and beverage orders from the customers, enter them through electronic system. When I turned 18 I was promoted to be bar staff, a part of this job was to manage the stock that was in the cellar and behind the bar. Taking a requisition every night to make sure that the bar was fully stocked for the next day. I also had responsibility for all the money in the till, counting and making sure that there was the correct amount in the till when the bar closed. Show less
