Restaurant Manager, FRIDA Southwest + the daley

Jessie Ting is a reservation and front of house manager and is the face and welcome gates of FRIDA Southwest + the daley. She is the first and last person you will see and hear, most evenings at FRIDA and is responsible for the highly-faceted Tetris work of reservations in our high-volume dining room. Hospitality is her first nature.

Growing up in a, a small but dense landlocked city in east Malaysia, she realized her calling at a young age. Jessie moved to America to pursue an MBA in business, first landing in Missouri and then Tulsa. To pay for tuition, she began working in restaurants, starting as a hostess, and working her way up the ranks while earning her degree.
