Wayne L. Cummins Email & Phone Number

My name is Wayne Cummins and I started my restaurant career in the kitchens of a large natural grocer then moved on to work as a Sous Chef and Executive Chef of two groundbreaking and successful restaurants in Dallas called the Green Room and Liberty Noodle. After catching the wine bug I moved into management of a local wine bar and became a wine buyer. This role took me to opening and running two other local wine bars and establishing a vast list of contacts and knowledge of the industry. This took me one step further with joining the team at Cru Food & Wine Bar, where I ran one of the top stores in the company for a few years before being named the Regional Manager/ Director of GM Development of all 11 locations. After 9 years with the company I moved on to Restaurant Consulting and opened and consulted for a few restaurant projects in Atlanta and Nashville before being called back home to develop a new Catering company with an old colleague.We formed a company that currently has exclusives to a few of the benchmark wedding and event venues and a focus on corporate clients with a need for myriad types of events in DFW. I am currently seeking a position in F&B Management or Operations for multiple units or General Manager for an industry leader in full service restaurant sector. My extensive knowledge of food, craft beer, wine and cocktails is only surpassed by my passion for this industry. I have strong leadership and communication skills that assist in creating and maintaining a culture. I have a proven track record of budgeting, forecasting and P&L management, as well as, creating and maintaining SOP throughout multiple units through regular audits and evaluations. I would be a great asset to a company looking for a hard worker with loyalty and a positive attitude that is looking to grow and needs someone with the tools and flexibility to adapt to any situation.

Listed skills include Leadership, Team Building, Human Resources, Beverage Industry, and 31 others.
