As a barback and porter at Henry Uptown, I played a key role in ensuring the bar was fully stocked and organized with all necessary supplies and resources to serve guests efficiently. I supported both bartenders and baristas by maintaining clear communication about inventory levels, proper use of supplies, and restocking needs. Working closely with my manager, Dulce, I helped design and implement new systems to reduce waste and maximize resource utilization, improving overall workflow and efficiency behind the bar. My proactive approach ensured that the team could focus on providing excellent service while I managed the operational details.
