Summary

With a solid foundation in the hospitality and logistics industries, I bring hands-on experience in fast-paced, customer-focused environments. My work as a kitchen hand and waiter has honed my ability to thrive under pressure, maintain high standards of cleanliness and organization, and deliver excellent customer service. Additionally, my warehouse experience has reinforced my skills in teamwork, attention to detail, and efficiency—qualities I am eager to bring to a role in a vibrant cafe setting. Passionate about food service and dedicated to contributing positively to any team, I am excited to bring my strong work ethic and enthusiasm for hospitality to your cafe.
