Morgan - Line Cook at HOT FISH CLUB

Experienced in food prep, grilling, baking, and sauce making with a focus on quality and consistency.

Skilled in ingredient handling, sanitation, and maintaining a clean, safe kitchen environment.

Provided friendly, efficient service in fast-paced dining settings, enhancing customer experience.

Worked seamlessly with kitchen staff and front-of-house team to ensure smooth operations.

Been prepping, grilling, worked flat top, and steadily worked steam.. Sliced meats, followed recipes, made sauces, created all mostly from scratch.. Also deep cleaning and help closing.

I cooked all grill items. Such as but not limited to; steaks, salmon, chicken, and burgers.. Ensuring to make a delicate diamond pattern that was standard practice for upscale dining.. Taking much pride that no dish was ever sent back.. I would help with prepping, stocking, inventory, and orders along with many other aspects of working B.O.H.

I set up my work stations proficiently and accordingly every day.. I checked and supplied (from designated spaces) all needed utensils and dishware, then I washed and returned them at the end of my shift.. I prepared, proportioned and plated all salads, hors d'oeuvre, appetizers, soups, desserts, and pâtés.. I inventoried, as well as restocked all items/ingredients necessary for everything and anything I would need to create.. Finally I would thoroughly sanitize my entire station and all equipment used through the day. I cleaned all areas that I utilized, along with that I took the opportunity to further my helpfulness into the kitchen to help and make certain it was being properly cleansed.

I began as an Expo, but then found my true passion in cooking.. I did prep work to start the days. Stocking the walk-in and restocking my section.. Weighing and separating meats, veggies, and other food.. I worked the line. The most satisfying thing for me while here was even with the amount of tickets that would be piled up, I'd knock out all of them with no longer than in 11 minutes, when in the front they would give 20minute wait time! I pride myself in trying not to make any errors. Yet understanding that in this profession, I will need to stay constantly alert to learn more.

My primary role was to greet customers, and to assist with the in-store check-out process.. Other main duties included stocking/restocking the sales floor, ringing up sales, bagging items, requesting price checks, collecting payment and giving appropriate change.. As well as responding to questions, improving engagement with merchandise and providing outstanding customer service was definitely a strong attribute of mine.. I was previously accustomed to operating cash registers, managing financial transactions, and balancing drawers so that came easily.

I worked as a hostess giving wait times, greeting and seating each customer.. I helped expo and bus tables when necessary.. I then was hired as server. This is a very fast paced diner. Took orders, worked the register, processed transactions.

I answered and occasionally routed calls.. Gave information on products.. I conducted numerous sales over the phone.
