About Troy Kempton
With over 4 years of experience as Bar Manager at Cohn Restaurant Group, I manage a team of over 100 employees, oversee inventory worth over $112K, and maintain a pour cost under 14%. My role includes curating a premium wine program with 72 SKUs, creating staff incentives to drive alcohol sales, and fostering vendor relationships under the guidance of the company\'s beverage director. A Level II certified professional by the Wine & Spirit Education Trust, I am deeply committed to staff education through weekly wine huddles, quarterly trainings, and the development of structured wine assessments. I aim to enhance the guest experience by delivering exceptional service and premium beverage offerings, contributing to our team\'s success and guest satisfaction.
