Total oversight of the entire food and beverage department at the Hotel Palomar including our three meal period Italian restaurant, Urbana, the hotel's in-room dining program, banquet sales and execution. Worked closely with our hotel partners to ensure a total increase in revenue by
incentivizing our property sales team on restaurant revenue connected to group rooms. Complete ownership of the food and beverage budget, capital planning and implementation, business plan and execution.
Small but mighty theater district bar and restaurant located in Times Square, NYC. Large focus on private dining and events due to the restaurants proximity to office buildings and theaters. Reestablished the lunch meal period. Oversaw sister property through its transition from a restaurant to a cafe and bar. Worked with liquor beer and wine vendors on a regional level for the two properties.
