I am an accomplished bar owner with a proven track record of success in the hospitality industry, particularly in Chiangmai, Thailand where I opened The Playhouse Bar. Within a brief span of five months, I led the establishment to ascend from a ranking of #364 to the coveted #1 position on TripAdvisor. I have a meticulous approach to bartending, blending refined techniques with a genuine passion for food and wine. Equipped with extensive experience in staff recruitment, training, and management, I foster a culture of excellence and customer satisfaction. I’m proficient in operational aspects including scheduling, inventory management, menu development, bar design, lighting, and vendor negotiations. I possess a deep understanding of profitability metrics such as food and beverage costs, revenue per square foot, and length of stay. I prioritize delivering exceptional customer experiences, emphasizing the creation of lasting memories that resonate with patrons. I hold a Wisconsin bartender license and have completed the Wisconsin responsible alcohol manager course ensuring compliance with regulatory standards and best practices. I am a personable and upbeat professional with a natural inclination towards fostering positive experiences and cultivating lasting relationships with guests. I possess exceptional communication skills coupled with unwavering honesty, respect, integrity, and consistency in every interaction. I recognize the significance of guest satisfaction and loyalty in driving profitability, thus prioritizing memorable experiences to extend guests’ length of stay and enhance the percentage of return customers. I have a wealth of experience and insights into the intricacies of the bar business, ensuring valuable contributions to guest satisfaction and overall company success. I am not looking to manage another bar business right now; I just want to get back behind the bar and make money for the business while creating super happy patrons who come back again and again.
