"What is downtime? (Smile) I am the type of person who enjoys going above and beyond in my work. If there is downtime, I am always filling it with tasks that help the overall good of the team or company. I will pitch in to help out my coworkers and peers or support supply duties that keep the kitchen and restaurant running well."
