During my previous job, we had a sudden rush of customers during lunch hour, and the kitchen was understaffed. I quickly organized the prep area, prioritized tasks, and communicated effectively with my team to ensure that all orders were completed on time. By staying calm and focused, I was able to manage the stress and maintain a high level of service.

I always follow the established food safety protocols, including proper handwashing, using gloves, and maintaining clean workstations. I also ensure that all food is stored at the correct temperatures and that any expired items are promptly discarded. Regularly cleaning and sanitizing surfaces and equipment is also a priority to prevent cross-contamination.

I believe in clear communication and active listening to understand my team's needs and expectations. I also take initiative to support others, whether it's helping with prep work or assisting in dishwashing. By being adaptable and willing to take on different tasks, I ensure that the team operates smoothly and efficiently.

I view feedback as an opportunity for growth and improvement. When receiving feedback, I listen attentively, ask clarifying questions if needed, and reflect on the comments. I then take actionable steps to address any areas for improvement and communicate my progress to ensure continuous improvement in my performance.

I have experience with a wide range of kitchen equipment, including commercial ovens, fryers, and dishwashers. I am proficient in using knives for various tasks, such as chopping and slicing, and I am comfortable with maintaining and cleaning all types of kitchen tools and equipment to ensure they are in optimal working condition.
