General Manager

Jul 2016 - Oct 2019
Managed all customer-facing operations including the tasting room, kitchen, and on-site events with gross sales at $1MM+ annually while maintaining 5% gross revenue growth and flat expense growth in an industry that sees its core customer base shrinking. This was achieved by a fastidious focus on industry trends across multiple industries and by keeping on top of the ever-changing local craft beer trends in California and nationwide. Managed a team of 12+ employees over multiple departments in a high-pressure work environment (kitchen, bar, servers, and beer club) while maintaining a very low turnover rate in an industry notorious for high turnover by creating a culture that embraced candor, critical feedback, accountability, and communication. Encouraged my team to be problem solvers and empowered them to make decisions they thought were the best for the team and the business. Project manager for on-site events and operations expansions. Responsible for planning, budgeting, staffing, and execution of large events with 300+ guests which took place 10+ times per year, and small special events (weddings, music performances, conferences, industry mixers, etc.) that happened 12+ times per year. Responsible for managing the remodel of the commercial kitchen and tasting room to make them both more user-friendly while increasing seating capacity and ultimately guest comfort. These changes led to increased check averages, which helped maintain the 5% gross revenue growth. Show less

Founder + Managing Partner
-
May 2012 - Apr 2016
Founder, GM, and Managing Partner of a seasonal, locally focused, 46-seat, full-service restaurant on the North Coast of California. I designed the layout of the entire restaurant and completed much of the remodeling myself. I personally secured financing through financial institutions and investors to overcome opening delays caused by permitting issues and overcoming local, small-town politics. Overcame many of the challenges of opening a restaurant in a remote tourist town that survives heavily on seasonal business flow and increased sales 20% year over year with just seasonal dinner service and catering. Employed 22 local employees and started an internship/mentorship program for any at-risk kids (16+) that were interested in the culinary arts. Earned AAA 3 Diamond Rating for the final year in business. Built and nurtured relationships with local farmers, ranchers, and foragers as opposed to ordering from big box food suppliers in order to offer a product with increased value, even if that meant slightly lower food cost margins. Curated the largest wine and craft beer selection in the county by purchasing directly from small, local producers and building lasting business relationships. Show less
