I'm a special and unique case, but you already knew that, in that they needed someone who really knew the kitchen and could basically solo it without backup so having years of kitchen experience was way more important than doing front of house and customer service which I had some but not extensive history in. Turns out kitchen work is way harder than smiling and talking to people and learning how the Toast POS tablet works so I picked up everything fast.
Just being quick on your feet and near OCD obsessive in dedication to cleanliness is 90% of doing the job "above and beyond" and talking to people is the other 10% and something tells me you already know how to clean and chat just fine.
Being hot helps, girl or boy people like talking to and interacting with good looking people and I have actual free reign over my appearance.
The health inspector didn't say a word about my long thick hair or full beard just "wow this is a clean kitchen" as he walked through and gave a perfect score in about 15 minutes of inspection.
The hardest part is the people you work with, not getting bored when it's slow as it's basically chasing a drug high of being busy and making money, and not getting too caught up in drugs and alcohol as food and beverage industry just gets people down bad with it.
I also do events and catering too so again, kind of a weird niche to be in.
