I started off as a cashier. My responsibilities included greeting and assisting customers, refilling the glass cases with pastries, and taking cake/pastry/cookie orders. Within a month I was promoted to cookie decorator where I was able to create new cookie designs and introduce new products, like Cake Pops, to the bakery. The store front relied heavily on the cookie decorators, of which there were only 3, to supply it with hundreds of cookies per day. I continued to learn how to work well with others and be proactive in meeting our quota, especially during the holidays where we would receive orders for thousands of cookies per day.

As a hostess, I would greet and seat customers at available tables, read specials, and bring them their requested beverages. As a sever, I waited on customers and interacted with them to make them feel welcomed. I learned how to work really well with others in high stressed situations. We always worked in groups, helping each other out when necessary. I maintained great relationships with the chefs, managers, and other servers. I always received 100% on my secret shopper reports.
