• Restaurant Manager

  • Sep 2017 - May 2018

  Udny Green, Aberdeenshire, United Kingdom After a month of being supervisor, I was offered the role of Restaurant Manager after our previous one departed. I worked closely with the GM, who I learned a lot of 'back of house' skills from. I was in charge of around 18 part time members of staff, so developed my man management skills vastly. I helped with rota's and ordering, as well as keeping a close eye on stock control.

  Banchory, Aberdeenshire, United Kingdom I enjoyed the change of service style; it was a massive switch from previous roles. At Banchory Lodge, I was in sole charge of two bars - a function bar that catered for up to 160 guests, and a fast paced residents/restaurant bar.

• Restaurant Supervisor

  • Mar 2015 - Aug 2016

  My role is to supervise other staff members and to make sure they're doing their job to the best of their ability during a restaurant service. I assign duties and job roles to each person before a service begins in order for it to flow as smoothly as possible with no problems. My own job role varies from shift to shift; some nights I could be working on the floor, serving guests directly.

I assign duties and job roles to each person before a service begins in order for it to flow as smoothly as possible with no problems. My own job role varies from shift to shift; some nights I could be working on the floor, serving guests directly. Other nights I could be working behind the bar, making drinks and doing wine pours, and other nights, I could be working on the 'pass', which means I'm the direct communicator between the staff working on the floor and the kitchen. At all times, my main responsibility is to make sure staff are providing an enjoyable and professional experience to our customers and residents. Meeting the five star standard must be achieved every single night. I am in charge of 'closing up' every night, which involves tidying up work stations, resetting the restaurant once all the guests have left, and cash up.

• Food and Beverage Assistant

  • Nov 2014 - Mar 2015

  I worked mainly as a waiter in this role. I was mostly working in the restaurant either on my own, or with a fellow member of staff, which enhanced my individual skills and team work. I sometimes did cashing up, staying often until the end with a supervisor or a manager, setting up for restaurant service, functions and other events for the following day.
