“I work in the Greenhouse restaurant in the front of house department at The Cellars-Hohenort hotel” says Emile Liebenberg.

“I officially started in March 2018 as a runner, I’m currently Head Waiter. My key responsibilities are to ensure that service is running smoothly and that all the guests are happy. I started my training at Greenhouse with no prior experience. I have learned all I know about the industry from working here. I am a team leader and consider one of my strengths to identify issues and come up with appropriate solutions. I love working with my team and seeing people happy, that makes my work satisfying.

My greatest achievement at work is becoming Head Waiter in the short time frame, and I have my eye on becoming Restaurant Supervisor. I would like to achieve that qualification within two years and follow on in the next five years by becoming a Restaurant Manager. I would love to travel to England, to experience the culture, the weather (I prefer the cold) and appreciate the design of the buildings.

In my spare time, I work on my computer – I am a computer enthusiast and if I won the lottery, I would resign and study!”
