Not sure where to even start?
I get it, sometimes when we’re in the red most weeks or feeling stagnant it’s impossible to justify a single dollar spent on anything else; you may know that you have an awesome team and a great menu,
but you’re still working 8 days a week and service just feels like a struggle every night.
I don’t want business owners to watch their restaurants lose money and waste stock week after week because they haven’t got access to real life solutions which we can implement immediately.
I’m Lauren…
I come from a lifetime in service, from witnessing family restaurants boom (and bust) to learning all about food, wine and beer from the most passionate restaurant managers in the UK. Since being back in New Zealand, I have worked in team leadership and HR for a large catering group; understanding the cycle of recruitment, onboarding and training is crucial to hospo success.
The reason I’m right for the job is that I still work in hospo to the day; I still work event shifts, I still sell and serve wine, you need someone who knows what it is really like to work in hospitality, not just direct from head office. I am passionate about working with people and creating harmonious working environments.
I know it’s a stressful time for restaurant owners, it feels like everything is against the industry and you don’t know where to begin. Your business needs someone who has experience in all areas of restaurant management, HR and wine sales and training. I believe that communities succeed with thriving restaurants, and this starts with a strong, confident team.
