Don Myers

As a wine team leader, I contributed to achieving $5.7M in sales. I curated an award-winning wine list, producing record revenues and global recognition. I also played a key role in delivering one of DFW's most profitable bar programs.

I created and managed a premium luxury beverage program, focusing exclusively on Italian wine and a bar program inspired by prohibition-era cocktails matched to craft spirits and European aperitifs. My pursuits included redesigning organizational strategy and procedures to enhance service standards and efficiency. Moreover, I supervised purchasing and related costs, ensuring a favorable net revenue. I conducted weekly tastings of our premium products, keeping staff aware of our offerings.

I managed all business operations, including P&L statements, inventory, staff training, HR, POS systems, payroll, and procuring exclusive European wine labels. Additionally, I developed a cocktail program, made strategic adjustments to maximize profitability, and organized events to boost sales.

As the beverage manager, I produced and managed two multimillion-dollar beverage and service programs and created a wine list that complemented exceptional seafood and prime steaks. I oversaw staff training and end-of-day procedures, including generating sales reports and maintaining the POS and CC processing systems.
