Food Service Experience

I worked as a waitress (Dining Room Captain) at St. John's Meadows Independent Living for three years in the Briarwood and Hawthorne dining rooms, providing residents with a high quality dining experience. Responsibilities included set-up and tear-down of dining rooms, food preparation, informing residents of daily menu features, assisting residents with meal selection, and communicating residents' special dietary needs to culinary staff. Additionally, I trained new employees and had the opportunity to act as interim Closing Supervisor for three weeks. This included the responsibility of printing and reviewing the sales report, counting the cash drawer, and locking up dining area.

They liked me so much they hired my brother! Our employment at St. John's Meadows overlapped for about six months.
