Candidate Profile
My name is David Bennett, and I began my hospitality career in the summer 2011 working at a local golf course in my hometown Kingston, ON. Eager to learn everything the industry had to offer I could often be found assisting many departments. From cleaning golf carts, washing dishes and tending the bar I was always willing to lend a hand. In the summer of 2015, I joined the Service Inspired Restaurants (SIR Corp.) team at Jack Astor's Bar & Grill in downtown Kingston, ON as a server. After completing an advanced diploma in business administration and professional golf management I moved back to Toronto, ON in September 2015 to purse my education in marketing. However, my love for the hospitality industry never left. While studying full-time, I worked my way up the ladder at one of Toronto’s busiest restaurants, Jack Astor’s Bar & Grill at Dundas Square (Toronto, ON). Quickly moving from server to bartender, shift leader to supervisor, manager to bar manager, my experience in the industry has accelerated tremendously. I am incredibly passionate about outdoor activities and experiences for locals and tourists to get out and explore our amazing city. I hope to bring more family-focused initiatives to the downtown core for members of the community to create new memories and traditions. I am also committed to supporting projects and opportunities that continue to attract tourism to the city.
