Summary

Dedicated and results-driven professional with a proven track record in the hospitality industry. In my most recent role as Restaurant Manager for the past six months, I've successfully overseen daily operations, implemented strategic improvements, and consistently delivered an outstanding dining experience. Prior to my managerial position, I spent two years as a waiter, where I not only developed a keen understanding of customer preferences and service excellence but was also honored with consecutive nominations for the company's Best Waiter award. Additionally, my foundational three-year experience as a waiter assistant equipped me with a comprehensive insight into the intricacies of restaurant dynamics. Known for my leadership acumen, dedication, and a hands-on approach to achieving operational excellence, I am poised to contribute my skills and passion for hospitality to a progressive and dynamic team.
