      Bar back/ beverage runner

      My responsibilities as a bar back were to tend to my bars around the hockey arena. I would provide bartenders with alcoholic beverages, small wares, and even help them out when they were busy. As a beverage runner I would bring beverage orders to the Suite and Club Levels in the arena during events. I opened bottles and served beverages to guests. During my time at Centerplate I also expedited beverage orders to other runners by creating orders and managing the room.
