Bar Manager
Salt Springs Brewery
Saline, Michigan
I joined Salt just before they opened their doors to the public. I was hired as a server, and shortly shifted to the bar, first as a bar back, then a bar tender. I was able to float in the FOH, learning new skill-sets in some roles and refining skills in others. In 2017, I cooperated with the general manager to develop a "bar manager" position and its related responsibilities. In this position, I helped to establish and enforce bar policy, standards of service, and best practices. I also developed a bar manual, trained new staff, maintained inventory and product orders, and more while working full time in service positions. It was a pleasure to grow in service and hospitality at Salt. I had found a very special culture and community at Salt, and wanted to share it with everyone who came through the doors.
