Marketing Manager
Sports Legends Bar & Grill
Clearwater, Fl
Sports Legends is a family owned restaurant in Clearwater, FL. My father is currently the GM, and he hired me to work whenever I am home from school. I started working as a floating bar-back with responsibilities behind the bar and walking around making sure everything is running smoothly. In a months time, my responsibilities increased and I found myself working as a host/waiter/bartender, and eventually as an assistant manager. I am now able to work any position at the restaurant, and I have received a plethora of positive feedback from not only my coworkers and employers, but from the customers as well. Since my dad is the GM, I have been very involved with many of the decisions around the bar, and he has been teaching me how to be a successful leader and manager. For Super Bowl 50 he even flew me down from school for additional help to assure that the bar saw a successful night. I have been involved with some of the marketing at the bar as well, and they even used my idea of raffling off NFL jerseys from the teams playing in the playoffs; customers received a raffle ticket for every $10 spent at the bar. It ended up being a great success, and we raffled off jerseys throughout the 2015 playoffs. Some of my core responsibilities working include, but are not limited to: maintaining customer satisfaction, being a leader for coworkers, managing inventory levels, and above satisfactory customer service. Since working at the restaurant I have gained valuable experience in the managing field and in the restaurant business itself, and I've learned how to use multiple different resources which aid in inventory control, technologies used in the restaurant, and operating systems used for the business. I recently expanded my role with the business, and now run all the social media accounts as well. I am looking to learn more about being a successful marketer, and running these accounts have allowed me to get some real world experience to test my abilities.
