Summary

I have an amazing understanding of what it means to deliver excellent customer service. My personality is energetic, and it is coupled with a strong work ethic. I am eager to portray the new set of skills that I have learnt from the National Citizenship Service. I am a self-motivated individual offering excellent skills in guest relations and upselling products and services. I am a skilled waiter who can adapt to operating in fast-paced environments with demanding objectives for sales, service, and quality, all while doing it efficiently with the same work ethic from beginning to end. I am a fast learner who is organised, and I work wonderfully with a team, and I do not have communication problems, and this is complemented with substantial time management and punctuality. Being a skilled waiter who adapts to operating in fast-paced environments with demanding objectives for sales, service and quality is also a part of who I am. I have a talent for adapting to changing menus and policies, as well as handling customer issues. Analytical problem-solver adept at managing time and preparing for future guests with efficient side work.
