Work History
Team Member/Cashier
Portillo's
Elmhurst
03.2024 - 06.2025
- I have been primarily trained on Cashier, Outdoor Cashier, Runner, as well as having some experience with other stations, like Fries, Drinks, and stickers.
- I am most often working Outdoor Cashier, where I am left in charge of keeping the drive through organized, taking the orders of customers, ensuring they're done in a fast, accurate and respectful manner, as well as assisting any other customers who come back around with any issues. A big part of this is staying outside, and walking to each of the cars. Indoor Cashier, is also quite similar, minus the outdoor elements.
- Runner is the other position I am most familiar and experienced with, primarily also being customer service, ensuring each customer receives their food in the drive through as soon as they're made. Another big part is ensuring the line stay organized, and assisting any customer who have issues or questions in the line.
