Organising shifts, pay, and stock levels, all have put my organised, logical approach to great effect, while easily learning and managing new software thanks to my experience at university. Being responsible for the entire bar staff and all customers has the potential to be stressful, however, if your preparation is thoroughly performed then any incidents are just a case of solving and moving on to the next in a structured approach at each event.

Carrying out random spot checks on persons entering the venue as per company training and guidelines.
