Who this suits

Suits service & hospitality roles where the CV is read by a person — a referral, a direct email, or a smaller company without an automated pipeline.

How it handles ATS parsing

The two-column layout reads well to a human but interleaves when flattened to plain text, so older parsers can scramble it. Use it when you are sending the CV directly to a person, and keep a single-column version for portal applications.

What you can change

Accent colour, sidebar bg, font body, font heading, spacing, scale, line, section order, which sections appear, page size (A4 or Letter), and every word of the text. Nothing here is locked behind a payment.

How to write a hospitality CV in Service

Sections, in this order

  1. Sidebar: certifications — food hygiene, allergens, first aid — languages and skills
  2. Main column: summary, experience with outlet type, covers and team size, achievements, education
