You see hospitality, not as a career choice but a calling. When you're not working, turning it off is not easy. When you go to dinner, you love a poetic menu spiel, notice a water spot on a glass from across the room, and appreciate the unseen details that create an exceptional experience. You pride yourself on educational and inspiring pre-shifts, a well-run door, and serving your team as much as your guests. You relish in the painstaking details of planning a perfect event and revel in the adrenaline fifteen minutes out from the start of a VIP reception. You are a self-starter and appreciate you are given the opportunity to build the business plan and take that responsibility seriously. You enjoy the "business" side of your role and enjoying teaching others what you know. You know every line item in the P&L and understand the levers to impact them. You are highly self-reflective, take lessons learned, and best practices with you in order to apply them in your daily actions. You continually find ways to partner with your peers to identify a better way of doing things and have the grit and tenacity to see it through.
