It’s not only one thing to be passionate about your job in hospitality, but to take it a step further and to be attentive, entertaining and to care about the guests that walk into your venue, is another.

But to Kennedy, embodying all of these traits are a must, before you even consider stepping into the role of a bartender or server. 

 Having worked in venues from Hong Kong to Sydney, his cross-cultural understanding of hospitality has given him an eye opening mindset into providing the best level of service, that he can possibly give. It’s a reminder as to how important standards are, and why a little difference can go a long way in both bars and restaurants.
