✓ A skills section covering prep, stations, food safety, and line speed.
✓ Bullets with numbers: ticket times, covers handled, waste reduced, cooks trained.
✓ Food-handler or ServSafe certification shown clearly.
✓ Single-column, standard-heading layout so applicant tracking systems parse it cleanly.

Example bullet points

• Kept ticket times under 8 minutes during 300-cover dinner rushes.
