We welcome your fresh perspectives and ideas I transformed the look-and-feel of the hotel s back-of-house space with murals and digital displays. It is now a much more cheerful place to work. I was assigned to an F&B outlet which was losing money. I was given the challenge to bring in more business. I designed festive events and promotions which have since turned the outlet around. I rolled out a new manpower management system for the hotel.
