Restaurant Manager, FRIDA Southwest + the daley

Jessie Ting is a reservation and front of house manager, and is the face of FRIDA Southwest + the daley. She is the first and last person you will see and hear, and 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 small 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, Oklahoma. To pay for tuition, she began working in restaurants, starting as a hostess, and working her way up the ranks while earning her degree.
