Meagan Bedford
@meaganbedford
I manage hospitality operations, staff coordination, training, compliance, and customer service in fast-paced restaurant environments.
What I'm looking for
I'm currently managing restaurant operations at Braza Langenhovenpark, coordinating daily service, staff attendance, training, record keeping, cash reconciliation, and health and safety procedures.
Across Hennie’s Langenhovenpark and Bloemfontein, I manage and coordinate a team of 20+ staff members. I handle onboarding, scheduling, performance monitoring, workplace conflict, corrective action, confidential staff matters, and operational administration.
I’ve also supported guesthouse operations at Boa Vida Guesthouse, including bookings, check-ins, guest communication, stock receiving, inventory checks, and staff supervision. My hospitality background includes waiter, bartender, shop assistant, cash handling, stock control, event preparation, and customer service responsibilities.
I’m building my Human Resources career through formal study and practical people-management experience, supported by training in HR, supervision, payroll and bookkeeping, occupational health and safety, hospitality management, first aid, and Microsoft Excel.
