RE: Application Waitress Position
Dear Ms Sandbury,
I am writing you to show my enthusiasm for a role as a waitress. I was pleased finding the vacancy on [website.com]. With more than five years of experience in the catering industry, I developed a strong talent for serving customers and to work under pressure. In this cover letter, I will elaborate on my motivation and ability to work at [Restaurant X].
To shortly introduce myself, my name is [Name Surname] and I heard about your establishment during a culinary event. I noticed that [Restaurant X]’s menu includes a great variety of delicious seasonal meals and wine stock. I am thrilled and confident about the opportunity to make customers understand the menu and offer the best beverage pairing options and available food substitutions. I believe that my passion for food and customer-service-driven attitude could be of great contribution to your team.
My previous employment as a waitress at [Restaurant Y] in [City] has helped me to develop my abilities to work in a high-end and fast-paced environment. During my time at this 110+ seat restaurant I gained experience in handling the cash register, perform daily inventory checks, take and serve culinary meals. My knowledge about food and wine pairing can greatly contribute to your establishment’s reputation and sales. For example, I know your menus appropriate entrée pairings and would love to demonstrate the appropriate customer service approach.
I would welcome the opportunity to demonstrate my customer focused service and knowledge. I have appended my resume for your review. If you have any questions, please contact me via [Email address] or [Phone number]. Thank you for your consideration.
Kind regards,
Becky Mayer
