Summary

Experienced waiter and pizza cook with a solid background in customer service, food preparation, and multitasking. I began working at Royal Chicken & Pizza in the summer of 2024, driven by the need for a job and financial stability. Prior to that, I worked briefly at Creams Cafe during the same summer but decided to move on as I found it wasn’t the right fit for me at the time. Throughout my experience, I have developed strong communication skills, the ability to work under pressure, and a commitment to maintaining high standards in both customer service and kitchen operations. Also, I'm currently available to work as I only work at Royal Chicken & Pizza on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 6pm to 10pm. I work there part-time so I'm not always needed, therefore my availability times are very flexible.
