JULIA AMALFITANO

• Handle large private events and parties (60+ people) by prepping big-batch cocktails and running smooth mobile bar setups.• Manage full bar setup and breakdown for events, which cuts down on stress and mistakes.• Created efficient layouts that keep traffic moving and guests from waiting in long lines.

• Craft and serve consistent cocktails and wines with care — guests notice the details and keep coming back.• Give solid recommendations on drinks and pairings that often lead to bigger checks and happy customers.• Keep an eye on the flow of the night and make sure everyone’s having a good time without overdoing it.

• Got really good at moving tickets fast during crazy rushes while still making every drink right.• Handled nightly cash closing and POS reconciliation so the books were always clean.• Took care of guests responsibly — checked IDs, enforced cutoffs when needed, and looked out for everyone’s safety.
• Jumped in wherever needed as a team player, helping clear tables, run food, and keep the whole place flowing so everyone could enjoy the game and their night.

Built real connections with my regulars by remembering their names, drinks, and stories — many of them come back just to catch up.

• Tracked inventory closely and adjusted stock levels so we rarely ran out of popular items.• Made craft cocktails from recipes but also got creative during busy times to keep drinks coming out fast.• Built seasonal specialty menus that guests really responded to and helped boost weekend sales.

Stayed cool under pressure during back-to-back rushes and sudden surges when big games got exciting.

Built easy friendships with regulars and sports fans, remembering their usual orders and favorite teams, which made the bar feel like a fun neighborhood spot.

Took care of the full bar responsibilities — from pouring beers and crafting cocktails to handling cash, closing tabs accurately, and keeping the bar clean and organized.
