  I was hired as lead hostess and promptly promoted to Event/Program Manager for demonstrating exceptional sales and customer service skills with guests and associate restaurateurs. I am responsible for successfully planning and managing every large group event from beginning to end.

I have planned and executed all restaurant and community events for Barolo over the past 4 years and have been present for each event to ensure that all guests’ experiences have been delivered beyond expectation. I have elevated Barolo’s reputation and facilitated dramatic increase in revenue by collaborating with EatDenver and Visit Denver, marketing the restaurant as an elite private dining venue. I created a “Barolo Experience” Private Dining Sales/Event Program Portfolio to attract surrounding hotel patron business, which generated exceptional positive response from several concierges and hotel managers.In addition to selling the rooms, also partnered with the Executive Chef to create menus and wine lists for each private room experience. I have toured several regions of Northern Italy on working excursions with Barolo’s owner and Chefs to increase product and cultural knowledge and insure the authenticity of our menu and wine offerings.

  Reservations Manager

  Manage and arrange all reservations for the restaurant while also running the front door. I hold an intricate role in Barolo’s success as I wear multiple hats on any given day. I am responsible for completing multiple projects, often at the same time, without stress or error. While performing administrative office duties such as payroll and inputting vendor invoices, efficiently answering phone calls, hosting the front door, ensuring that every guest has the best experience possible and exceeding guest expectations, I also design the dining room before the staff arrives, assign tables according to guest requests and assign server sections. I make it a point to communicate to the chef and kitchen staff of the initial count and also any changes that have occurred during the shift. Show less
