Jason Bartucci Cellular: (702) 328-0701 Email: jbartucci@yahoo.com With a dedicated focus and love for operations and strategy, my skills and habits have been carefully honed over the last twenty-plus years of employment in the industry. From acquiring a business degree at Ryerson University- one of the top hospitality schools in North America- to the extensive Food, Beverage, and Nightclub experience with some of the leading organizations of the world, this is what I can bring to your team. •I characterize my leadership as positive, solution-oriented, and engaging, but firmly rooted in humility. This ensures I bring out the very best in each member of my team while striving to be an example of such. •I am an entrepreneur by nature and have always made decisions from the perspective of an owner. My entrepreneurial passion has only been stoked during my current experience working for a market leader. I understand how to drive value for our guests while maximizing the bottom line for shareholders. •I work by diligently planning, conveying detailed and thoughtful communication, and consistently following up. These are the three vital prerequisites of all successful project or plans, regardless of size. •I see value in building and continually mentoring a strong team. By setting high goals, fulfilling objectives and engaging each member’s strengths we create an environment in which the company and the team both win, and we are dually prepared to anticipate the next challenge. •I respect technology to help grow and aid in the development of a business, but realize that technology is only as good as the user and the process. •I take pride in the experience I have at all levels of the operation. It has helped me cultivate trust within working relationships in both union and non-union environments, and given me valuable perspective when balancing short, mid, and long term goals with precision. •I am a proven winner. As a leader of Craftsteak, revenue increased 50% over three years and LAVO Party Brunch saw a 100% increase in revenue and profitability over the span of four years. •Finally, I love what I do. I believe this has translated into my ability to build and maintain environments over the years that remain focused on Food, Beverage, Service, and Culture – resulting in a yearly average score of 98% on independent mystery shopper reports over 5 consecutive years.
