Classic cocktail preparation skills alongside basic mixology for rotating house cocktail menus.- Exceptional handling of food for in-house expo & to-go services with heightened safety measures for allergy concerns.- Implementation of previously developed de-escalation training in navigating quality concerns & feedback towards staff.- Frequent responsibilities in management of establishment's visual aesthetics and music curation. Assistance in curating this aesthetic for company social media outlets.As a server, I take pride in guiding customers through an exquisite menu.

There's something special about making someone's day with healthy, delicious food! Show less
