Collin Foody

I am 26 years old and I have been working in the restaurant industry for the passed 6 years. I have worked as a bartender in high volume bars and catering events; served in high volume, formal restaurants as well as bussed and bar backed. I also have experience in the back of house as a food prep, cook, and expeditor. I am able to memorize menus quickly and have been taught to upsell items when possible. I have a high sense of urgency while able to maintain composure and do my job thoroughly. I am well versed in restaurant work and believe I would be beneficial to the Hilton/ Stories team.
