ELYGeneral Manager
Mar. 2018 - Feb. 2022Dublin, IrelandEly revolutionized the wine bar scene in Dublin. Since 1999 providing exceptional food and wine, topped up with amazing customer service and stunning venues. I started at this group as a head bartender, quickly becoming bar supervisor, then a Bar Manager, also in charge of all beverage purchasing, and finally becoming a General Manager for the most renowned wine bar in Dublin, Ireland. During the course of my multiple roles at Ely, I was, among many other things, responsible for managing a huge portfolio of wines, craft beers, spirits, and cocktails, making sure our beverage lists were kept always fresh and attractive. Great part of my job was managing an extensive beverage portfolio and the relationship with suppliers, making sure we were always able to work with the best products while maintaining great commercial relationships with many key beverage companies. Performing this role I made the best of my problem solving, organization and team leading skills. Constant team training and keeping high service standards are part of my daily routine, and so was the constant analyzing of beverages stocks and margins levels. I am proud of having participated on a major project of renovation in our oldest venue, Ely Wine Bar. I have also managed the project of renovating one of our bar areas in Ely Bar & Grill.
