Description
I am a versatile and outgoing hospitality professional with a unique blend of skills spanning both the morning coffee rush and the evening cocktail service. Over the past year and a half, I have honed my ability to pull the perfect espresso shot and shake a classic Negroni with equal precision. I thrive in dynamic environments where the atmosphere transitions from a bright, welcoming cafe to a moody, intimate bar as the sun sets.
My Professional Journey & Dual Expertise:
+ 2022 – Present: Front of House Associate at a trendy Amsterdam canal-side venue. Manage the transition from daytime specialty coffee service to evening craft cocktail operations.
+ 2021 – 2022: Junior Barista and Barback at a local roastery. Learned the fundamentals of milk texturing, latte art, and bar maintenance.
Key Competencies & Daily Operations:
* Coffee Craft: Dialing in grinders, brewing V60 and Aeropress, and maintaining the La Marzocco espresso machine.
* Mixology Basics: Preparing high-volume classic cocktails, managing the draft beer system, and presenting spirits to guests.
* Hygiene & Admin: Strict adherence to HACCP standards, closing procedures, and end-of-night POS reconciliation.
I am highly disciplined, possess a valid food safety certificate, and am always punctual for my opening shifts. I am looking for a full-time role in a vibrant, concept-driven establishment where I can utilize my diverse skill set and continue learning about both coffee and spirits.
