Reference for Arnav Saluja I am the Owner of Pinjore Family Dining, a family-owned hotel and restaurant in India. Arnav worked with us in front of house and reception from January 2024 to September 2024. As he is part of the family that owns the business, I want to be open about that connection, and I have kept this reference factual. In his role, Arnav welcomed guests at reception, handled check-in, took food orders and processed cash and card payments, serving between 20 and 50 guests on each shift. He worked closely with both the hotel and restaurant teams and kept service quick and friendly at our busiest times. Guests found him polite, patient and helpful, and he handled payments accurately. Arnav also contributed well beyond his day-to-day duties. During a difficult period for the business, he supported us by helping to bring investors to the restaurant. This showed real commercial awareness, initiative and maturity, and it added clear value to the business at a time when we needed it. Arnav is reliable, hard-working and trustworthy. He learns quickly, communicates clearly and takes responsibility without needing to be asked. He has since gone on to study International Business Management at Oxford Brookes University and to take on customer-facing and administrative roles, and I am not surprised. I am confident he would be a dependable and valuable member of any team, and I recommend him without hesitation. Please contact me on the details above if you would like to discuss his work further.
