  Assistant Manager/Server

  I started with this Family owned venture and was part of the opening crew. I started as a server and worked my way up to an Assistant Manager for the Owner. I aided in scheduling and managed end of day paperwork, as well as cash handling and training of new staff. I worked on the floor as well as in the kitchen, managing the entire establishment and staff day to day.

  Bartender/Server/Catering Specialist/Expo

  I spent almost 3 years at this well respected establishment in Tallahassee, Fl. I worked my way up from a Hostess to a Server then gained and earned my spot on the Bar, and then transitioned into the Catering Specialist for this location. I continued to work in each area and managed to also train and work in expoditing in the kitchen. I worked closely with Management, and gained a lot of knowledge and experience in my time with them. My general manager of this restaurant is the reason I chose Hospitality Management as my area of study. Show less
