Moreover, I was also responsible for the organization and planning of big group rentals or events that invloved renting equipment from our shops.

In 2011 I opened an Italian restaurant and wine bar on the Greek island of Naxos together with my family. We successfully ran the restaurant for 7 years making it one of the best places on the island to go and enjoy quality food and a fine selection of wines. Since we were just working with fresh ingredients we were providing a fixed appatizers menu plus a daily menu with various main dishes choice. My main tasks at the resurant were:
Operation (work schedule, orders, reservations)
Graphic and web design
Menu planning and design
Event and catering organization
My first working experience was at Athens International Airport at a worldwide known company for retail services for travellers; Autogrill. For Autogrill I was assisting the Manager who was responsible for our 27 PoS at the airport. Tasks varied from accounting to daily operation; issuing of work permits; daily office management; event management and assisting in the creation of new stores inside and outside the airport.
