Jul 2017 - Dec 2018Senior WaitressI worked as a senior waitress in a busy restaurant, where I was in charge of large sections/ the entirety of the floor. Working closely as a team; and good customer service skills were at the heart of this job. Due to my role as a senior member of floor staff, this meant that I had to be able to effectively delegate jobs to other members of the team. Ensuring direct and clear communication between the kitchen and the floor was also of the utmost importance. Duties included: Liaising with customer and kitchen staff; taking orders; quickly setting and clearing tables; welcoming and seating guests as they arrived; preparing drinks behind the bar; running food from the kitchen to the tables; cleaning and the upkeep of the restaurant.
