more responsibility, including creating drinks, social media posts, and bar positioning. I also open and close two venues, as well as manage the items and amounts to be delivered to the premises.

doing daily reviews of the stock take, bar set up, drinks and bar aesthetics, as well as general bar tending.

• A bar and restaurant style venue, my main roles being a bartender and barista which also includes the preparation of premixes as well as the preparation of garnishes and cocktail ingredients. My skills also extend to various floor skills such as hosting and waitering when needed to be more efficient for the team.

• A cinema, bar, and restaurant venue. Including roles such as serving/delivering food, customer service, creating drinks and cocktails, announcing the start of films within the screen, cleaning and time keeping for cleaning the screens for the next set of customers.

• My responsibilities included greeting clients using my customer service skills giving a warm welcome and answering any queries as informatively as possible. I would also be given jobs of a more time sensitive nature and would multi-task and use organisation to complete them to a high standard.

• Another bartending job with various roles such as cleaning, creating drinks and cocktails, serving food, customer service and setting up stages for live performances.

• A standard bartending and hospitality job that includes creating drinks and cocktails, cleaning, customer service and tracking the stock within the venue. I would also deal with vast quantities of customers and learn to be effective under pressure and within an event environment.

• A retail and art apprentice which allowed me to experience selling art as well as the set-up of artwork within a store, as well as giving me insider knowledge of how a small art business would operate and collaborate with other artists. I also set up social media for some of the artists at the store, give out teas/coffee to staff and operated the cash register.
