How to Post your Resume to Your FohBoh Profile

Posted on March 8, 2009 at 12:21pm 2 Comments

These are challenging times for sure. Job loss has created a new awareness of and appreciation for networking, online and off. Creating a professional profile on FohBoh that reflects you, your experiences and your interests is a good idea. Not only will others in this industry find you, they can also download your resume.



Step 1. Make a PDF copy of your resume. While a .doc will work, a graphic cannot be edited and is easier to email.



Step 2. Go to your My Page on FohBoh… Continue

Open for Business...Finally!

Posted on March 9, 2008 at 11:40am 8 Comments

Thanks to all FohBoh members that have helped me figure all this stuff out. While I have been in the business for a while as a FOH server and 'tender, being an entrepreneur is new. My friend who is a government employee refers to entrepreneurs as "I-trip-in-manure"...no guts...no glory I say.

Opening your first restaurant is really special. There is a s***-load of responsibility when your ass is on the line and I guess this is exactly why my… Continue

Wine Selling & Storytelling

Caught this on Springwise.



Products that carry a sense of place or provenance are coveted by consumers for a variety of reasons, from environmental concerns to shifting perceptions about what constitutes value. As people move away

from mass consumption to unique products and memorable experiences,… Continue

FohBoh Rocks!

Posted on January 16, 2008 at 8:25pm 1 Comment

I just have to tell all fohboh members how amazing it feels to to be able to ask a question of strangers and get excellent advice. It comes without judgement, without cost and is actually based on real world experience, and is so typical of this amazing industry...we help each other.

I have new friends, fans and advisors now that are from a dozen different countries.

Thanks so much fohboh for making this a restaurant "people" network.

Buying Used

Posted on January 13, 2008 at 12:00pm 5 Comments

I have successfully migrated from being a server to being an entrepreneur...a little scary. A partner and I have purchased a small 2,500 lease near the water, so seafood and tourists are a natural. The former restaurant and pub owner passed away so we were able to solve their family's problem while making it a reality for us.



The kitchen is a mess though and needs repair, new equipment, a larger hood and new flooring tile. The bar is in pretty good shape though.



Here's my… Continue

I wanted to personally invite you to join our discussions in regards to cheeses at the Cheese Group on FohBoh. Every week we introduce a new cheese and invite you to find it in your area, buy it, try it and then dicuss it with us. We could use someone like yourself who could give us some good, positive feedback.

Hi Surfer Girl!,

I've just launched a new website called restaurantworldtour.com where the idea is to try as many different types of food from around the world in your local area and I was wondering whether you'd go and have a look, see what you think and perhaps give me some feedback. And if you like it, I'd really appreciate it if you'd start adding a few restaurants that you know of in your area.

Thanks so much

Dave

Hey Surfer Girl. We're working to expand our business into Australia. A co-worker friend just returned from spending a couple of months at our offices in Sydney. And he never went surfing...

Thanks!!

Hey Girl,

Have you checked out FohBOh GPO yet? It's really a great product, exclusively for us FohBoh members, and it's free. You should check it out!

Just read some of your info...You go girl!!! Wish you the best! I have family in Australia, and yet I have never been there...but I am l planning on it this year. I will forward your info to Rosie (she's in the picture, she is the brunette) who lives just north of Sydney. Again, I wish you the best success, and will also live a little vicariously through your efforts.
