Fictional example for illustration — names, employers and numbers are invented, but every bullet follows the honest formula: action + scope + verifiable result. Never copy claims you can't defend in an interview.
Serving is selling — show the numbers
Check average, covers per shift, attachment rate on wine or features: managers can pull these from the POS, and putting them on paper says you think in them.
Volume plus tier tells the story
A 250-cover brunch and a fine-dining steakhouse prove different skills — name the volume and the service tier so the reader can place you instantly.
Certifications go on top
ServSafe and state alcohol-service cards are legal requirements many postings filter on; list them with renewal years so the manager knows you can start tomorrow.
