If you work in the hospitality industry, you know how beneficial it can be to hear about other people’s success stories.
Each Monday, join Adrian Easdown as he has enlightening chats with successful folks in the hospitality industry around Australia, picking their brains about marketing, logistics and everything else hospitality. If you’re involved in anyway way with caravanning, running a restaurant or working with any other sort of hospitality-based business, you’re going to love this show.
On this week’s episode of That Bad Review, we chat with Amanda Hinton. Amanda began her hospitality journey at 15 years of age, washing dishes in a small local establishment and at only 21 years old, had already become General Manager at Capricorn Caves.
