I worked as a manager and bartender mainly during the evenings. I enjoyed the laid back environment and the community feel of the Tavern. Closing procedures, cash deposits, bar inventory, bar cleanliness, kitchen operations, staff management and many other FOH tasks were part of my daily routine at the Tavern on Main. I loved bartending there, everyone felt like family and you know people by name. I am looking to develop my talents in the hospitality industry and further my knowledge in a more challenging environment.

I worked as the Bar Manager in Owatonna and Service Manager in Signal Hill. For the past months we have grown thanks to great employees and hard work.
