I will strive to implement independent innovational thinking and to fully utilize all of my skills and strengths with whole-hearted investment in all aspects, strategies, and policy of a hospitality or Human Resource arena. I am substantially experienced in all areas of restaurant management and customer service, specifically fine dining and Five Diamond establishments. I have a very broad knowledge of food, wine, and fine spirits. My wine knowledge qualifies me to stand in as sommelier as needed. I am committed to outstanding customer service and have been successful in developing and leading an exceptionally well trained and educated staff. I am thoroughly knowledgeable of and always in expectation of proper beverage service and serving etiquette. My managerial skills also include the hiring, training, testing, scheduling, payroll, progressive discipline, and oversight of all employees. I exercised cost controlling methods by negotiating approved vendor rates while managing food, wine, liquor, and supply inventories. I served as a customer care liaison by ensuring that each guest had a comfortable and rewarding experience, and practiced quick and efficient problem solving. I also have extensive experience working with managerial programming of Micros and Aloha service systems. I am proficient in MS Word, Excel, Outlook, and Lotus Notes. I have also utilized these correlative skills, as well as many others, in Human Resource as a staffing specialist for Manpower International. I am confident I would serve as an indubitable asset to your company. References and letters of recommendation can be provided upon request. Thank you for your time and consideration.
