A professional Assistant Food and Beverage Manager that can offer more than a decade of experience within the bar/restaurant industry. Not only do I possess the relevant educational qualification, but I have also taken on numerous roles over the years. This perspective has enabled me to offer a second-to-none level of expertise in all facets of modem bar management.

I am additionally aware of health and safety standards: an important concern in regard to local rules and regulations. I am eager to take on the responsibility of a Food and Beverage Manager and have been searching for a property which will enable me to be part of a team while simultaneously enhancing my existing skills.
