Prior to that worked a few years in Oslo in several catering companies and restaurants there. I have a lot of experience with kitchen economy and don't waste anything. I am used to filling out and understand the food safety systems. I work hard and fast and thrive in the busy rush time .I follow cleaning routines well and I'm always punctual and never had a day off. I have a great fun friendly attitude and get on well with everyone and really enjoy what i do. I'm passionate about food and looking forward to start a in a new work place from May.
