I am currently the restaurant manager for olive tree. This great local restaurant serves an extensive quality tapas menu and has been at the top of Waterfords restaurants since it opened six years ago. We pride ourselves in great service every time. I look after the venue from orders, rosters and menus to payroll, recruitment and training.

I was employed as the restaurant manager in Bellissimo. I was responsible for the day to day running, orders, rosters, payroll. Also staff training and a great customer experience every time.

Whilst with Michael I managed a number of his venues including Wright’s cafe bar in swords. This is an upmarket cafe bar during the day and a busy club at night. I also managed the bloody stream in Howth. This is a traditional gastro pub with a large tourist trade as well as a great local trade.

I worked for those years as a fixer in the industry. I helped several owners to identify and solve the issues that they had within there venues and there companies. These included the Shelbourne hotel, Dublin where I was the bars manager for a 6 month set period where I resolved service issues, internal issues and brought the standards k front of house up to a 5 star level.I also do a fixed 1 year term in the prince of Wales hotel in Athlone . While I was there I completely re structure the front of house offers and brought them into a profitable offer. I established the cocktail bar and a late night offer whilst re developing the food offer greatly.
