CHALLENGE: Design, build and run an 80 seat Alpine themed restaurant, at the base of Hunter Mountain Ski Resort in Hunter, NY.

I worked with Stacey at American Design Language to design a full brand portfolio including signage, a custom font and menu design. I Selected and implemented all restaurant technology including POS, security, accounting and inventory. I Hired and managed a staff of ten to 15 people. Jägerberg opened for business in February 2018. I Managed day-to-day operations, hosted, bar tended and worked every other position except executive chef!
