Restaurant server resume example

Restaurant managers hire for speed, attitude and average check size under pressure.

Show covers handled, upselling wins and teamwork during rushes.

What to highlight

  • Covers per shift or table turnover in busy periods
  • Average check or upselling improvements
  • POS systems and alcohol service certifications
  • Languages spoken (tourist areas)

Mistakes to avoid

  • Only listing "served food" without volume or guest feedback
  • Omitting alcohol handler or food safety certs where required
  • Overly decorative templates that are hard to skim
