Ryan Kukowski
@ryankukowski
High-volume bartender and talent-acquisition support with strong guest and candidate rapport.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I thrive in high-volume, fast-paced environments, bringing calm focus to every shift. I’ve maintained strict cleanliness, supported weekly inventory for beverages and supplies, and consistently delivered guest satisfaction.
As a bartender, I combine hands-on craft-cocktail execution with deep product knowledge. I’m confident with Coravin wine and staying current on menu changes and allergens, so every guest interaction feels informed and intentional.
I also bring recruiting-centered experience from a Principal role that blended operations and people. I sourced candidates using LinkedIn, coached candidates through interviews, and coordinated meetings to ensure candidates were fully prepared for clients.
I’m quick to ramp up on tools and systems, with experience learning POS workflows and operating in venues using Digital Dining, Aloha, Toast, Micros, and Lavu. I’m motivated by relationship-building and results—whether that’s creating repeat guest experiences or helping teams hire effectively.
