  BOWLMOR LANES

  Jan 2018 - Jan 2020

  Head Bartender

  Started as a bartender in January '18, then bar lead in March, then food and beverage manager in November of the same year. I oversaw interviewing and training of all staff working behind the bar to ensure proper safety and customer service procedures, while also being responsible for alcoholic inventory, ordering and restocking with distributors, and submitting invoices to accounts payable. During my time there I consistently kept our cost of sale at around 15-17%, as opposed to over 20% when I first started, as well as grew our alcohol sales from previous years. I trained over 20 employees during my time there, including bartenders, servers and managers, many of whom had zero experience in the hospitality industry or had never been behind a bar before.
