2011-2014 Mellow Mushroom Tuscaloosa, AL
Server/Bartender/Art Director
Mellow Mushroom is a corporate restaurant that primarily serves specialty pizzas and craft beer. The
restaurant is located one mile from the University of Alabama football stadium. I worked with a high volume
of customers, large sections, and private parties. I started out as a host and quickly became a server and a
bartender. I am a very hard worker and wanted to learn every aspect of the restaurant business. When
possible I took it upon myself to cross train in many areas including the kitchen. At Mellow Mushroom as a
front of house worker I worked hard to establish relationships with customers. Customers would often
request me by name when dining in. As a co -worker I formed great relationships with not only the front of
house, but the back of house as well which made for a smooth transition from kitchen to table. I loved
working at Mellow Mushroom!
