  as Restaurant Manager I was a department head in the F&B division of the Listel Hotel. I helped to maintain sales, service & costs in the restaurant as well as the F&B team at large. I participated in the concept of the renovation & rebranding of the restaurant into forage, and was the face of the opening FOH team. I am proud to say that as O'Doul's closed I retained the entire staff until the very last shift worked. as Restaurant Manager I was a department head in the F&B division of the Listel Hotel.
