Summary
Hands on, friendly bartender with two and a half years working in a 730 capacity venue. I am an excellent salesman with a diverse knowledge of beer, wine, spirits and cocktails and am sure to engage with customers, recommending items, boosting revenue and ensuring a positive experience - resulting in repeat visits. I am a very fast server and strong multi-tasker, maintaining efficient service through busy rushes and am familiar with performing administrative tasks such handling cash up and scheduling staff as well as counting stock and managing bookings. I am unafraid to get my hands dirty and take initiative in performing hygiene and maintenance tasks that facilitate the smooth running of a venue and will learn new skills quickly and eagerly.
I am familiar with both digital and film photography, have been trained to develop colour and black and white film and am proficient in the use of Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop.
