Work History

  • Being a server at Mucho Gusto has allowed me to improve my level of hospitality as the brand of this restaurant is celebrations and birthdays, it has allowed me to improve on my upselling and memorization of the menus. My duties here are to take accurate drink/food orders and making sure to accommodate allergies and dietary restrictions. I always go above and beyond to help out other team members and make sure everyone is in a good place.
