EXPERIENCE
Recently: Catering Sales Coordinator, Maison Blanc Catering, Allentown, PA
Full time (same job description See page 2)
General Manager, Tally Ho Tavern, Bethlehem, PA 2007-2010
I was asked to help the owners help position the business for sale. I started a program designed to
keep customers in their seats and coming back for more. The business grew by 50% in the first
year. The second year, again, the business grew by another 48%, even as the recession was taking
its toll. The business has since been sold.
Recruiter/Trainer, Mack Hospitality, Allentown, PA 2006-2007
This company has five branches with the Allentown office being the newest. The Allentown
branch was not doing well financially. The owners were going to close it down but my
immediate boss asked for 6 months to turn it around. She hired me to accept applications,
interview and train the new temporary staff. Our focus was on staff retention. The branch is very
successful.
