Moulin Noir

My career began in 2015 when I was hired as a server. Over the years, I took on some responsibilities and showed my interest in acquiring the business. With time, small additional responsibilities kept coming my way, allowing me to gain more experience. My ultimate goal as a server was to ensure that the customer had the best possible experience.

Since 2024, I have fulfilled a childhood dream of becoming a co-owner of my restaurant. Since I was young, I dreamed of owning my own restaurant. I knew how to be patient and seized the opportunity when it came. Having worked here for 9 years as a server allowed me to get to know the business well, and now I can continue its growth.

If you believe in your dreams, anything becomes possible.

My career began in 2018 when I brought my resume to Moulin Noir, and at that time, I wasn’t aiming for any specific position—I just wanted to find a job. The owner at the time, Loraine, hired me immediately as a bussgirl, and I did my first shift that very evening. With my ability to learn quickly, she then trained me as a hostess. Since there was a staff shortage during the holiday season, I was also trained as an aide at the pass. I worked in these three roles for a year before being offered a position in the kitchen. Without any formal training, I had to learn fast and worked the entrée station for a whole summer and part of the fall. After that, I did a few shifts as a substitute and returned to my bussgirl position.

In 2020, after becoming familiar with the staff, the restaurant, and the menu, I decided to try being a waitress. It was a very stressful step in my journey within the company because I had no experience as a server, and I knew Moulin Noir was looking for experienced employees… I had to convince them, as they had already started my training. They also had me take a bar training course to make me more effective and independent. Since the fall of 2023, I’ve been working as a part-time waitress, as I decided to return to school. With my experience, I’ve been able to train new employees and become a point of reference. I’m curious and enjoy learning new things, which is why I said yes to all the opportunities that were offered to me. I also love taking on challenges. With all the experience I’ve gained over the years, I felt I was ready to become a waitress.

Moulin Noir trusted me many times, which allowed me to gain more confidence and take on increasing responsibilities. The different roles I’ve held have helped me develop a comprehensive view of the restaurant industry. Don’t hesitate to integrate into the team, as each employee has developed a working method that can inspire you to develop your own. Know your limits—the experience is even better.
