MICHAL MENDELSOHN
Phoenix
Summary
My name is Mic, I am a Phoenix native with about 17 years of experience in the bar and restaurant industry. I have been involved with opening many downtown Phoenix locations that are staples in the community today. My experience in the restaurant industry varies, having worked at many different types of concepts from Italian restaurants, to arcade bars, nightclubs, classier brunch spots, music venues, and even pub settings. I am looking for a career that allows me to utilize the skills I have learned and apply them in a new and creative environment with the goal of working in restaurant management.
