Hostess Cashier resume examples for 2025

Hostess Cashier resume format and sections

1. 1

   1. Add contact information to your hostess cashier resume

   Your name should be the biggest text on the page and be at or near the top of the document. Your address doesn't need to include your street name or house number - listing your city and state works just fine. Your email address should be professional, but not your current work email address. It's not a good look to use your work email for personal projects (job-searching). Your social media can be included if you have a fully-fledged LinkedIn page or another social media page that showcases your relevant skill set.

   • The name of your school

   • The more work experience you get, the shorter your education section should be
   • List your education in reverse chronological order, with your most recent and high-ranking degrees first

   3. Next, create a hostess cashier skills section on your resume

   Your resume's skills section should include the most important keywords from the job description, as long as you actually have those skills. If you haven't started your job search yet, you can look over resumes to get an idea of what skills are the most important.

   Here are some tips to keep in mind when writing your resume's skills section:

   • Include 6-12 skills, in bullet point form
   • List mostly hard skills; soft skills are hard to test
   • Emphasize the skills that are most important for the job

   Hard skills are generally more important to hiring managers because they relate to on-the-job knowledge and specific experience with a certain technology or process.

   Soft skills are also valuable, as they're highly transferable and make you a great person to work alongside, but they're impossible to prove on a resume.

   Example of skills to include on an hostess cashier resume

   • To-Go Orders Skills.
      

     A to-go order refers to a food or beverage item served in a package, takeout container, or parcel which allows it to be taken away from a restaurant rather than eaten on the premises of the restaurant as a dine-in facility. A to-go order means your order from the restaurant but eat it at home and hence call it a takeout.

   • POS Skills.
      

     POS is an abbreviation of "Point of Sale" which is the time and place where a customer completes a transaction. It can either be a physical shop that consists of POS terminals or a virtual shop. A POS system helps simplify the retail functions and track important sales data.

   • Seat Guests Skills.
      

     Seat guests are the act of acknowledging, receiving, and communicating hospitality to a guest. Seating a guest has a long way to go in keeping the guest happy and active.

   • Customer Service Skills.
      

     Customer service is the process of offering assistance to all the current and potential customers -- answering questions, fixing problems, and providing excellent service. The main goal of customer service is to build a strong relationship with the customers so that they keep coming back for more business.

   • Bus Tables Skills.
      

     Bus tables refers to the process of cleaning restaurant tables after the customer has finished and paid for the meal. This includes cleaning the table of any dirty dishes, wiping down the table and seats, and (sometimes) resetting the table for the next guests.

   • Drink Orders Skills.
      

     Drink orders are made by a bartender working in a bar wherein he/she mixes up a drink that the customers want. There is a lot of different cocktail terminology a customer can ask the bartenders. The most commonly used are neat, it is a drink without any ice on it, but they can still add some by saying on the rocks. Also, you call a straight-up, a white or dark spirited drink poured in a cocktail glass.

   • Telephone Calls Skills.
      

     Telephone calls are a communication means through which a caller is connected to the called party. The call is done through a telecommunications device called a telephone. The caller can use a landline, mobile phone, or satellite phone to make the call.

   4. List your hostess cashier experience

   The most important part of any resume for a hostess cashier is the experience section. Recruiters and hiring managers expect to see your experience listed in reverse chronological order, meaning that you should begin with your most recent experience and then work backwards.

   Don't just list your job duties below each job entry. Instead, make sure most of your bullet points discuss impressive achievements from your past positions. Whenever you can, use numbers to contextualize your accomplishments for the hiring manager reading your resume.

   It's okay if you can't include exact percentages or dollar figures. There's a big difference even between saying "Managed a team of hostess cashiers" and "Managed a team of 6 hostess cashiers over a 9-month project. "

   Most importantly, make sure that the experience you include is relevant to the job you're applying for. Use the job description to ensure that each bullet point on your resume is appropriate and helpful.
