Fifty/50 Group since 2016

Here’s more with Nigal:

My First Industry Job: My first industry job was working as a server- we actually were called “islanders”-at Cheeseburger in Paradise back in Columbus, Ohio. It started as a side job while I was in school and working full time in retail.
Here’s what I like about my role: Everyday is different than the day before. Whether it’s the pace or the people you meet- you never know what to expect. The job keeps me on my toes. I enjoy when a guest orders drinks that I haven’t made in years..
My favorite part of being on the team I can say that I learn something from everyone that I have been on a team with. Sometimes I get inspired to be more like my teammates- whether it be a skillset they have that I admire or a friendly competition like who can make the most drinks and ring in the most sales.
My key mentors: When it comes to the bar world, my mentor is Cris Dehlavi. She’s a beast! She introduced me to some invaluable resources that I still take advantage almost ten years later.
What I've learned at Fifty/50 so far: When I first started at Apogee, I was hired to be seasonal and I didn’t know much about the company. Here I am many seasons later and proud of the company I work for- especially for the response to COVID 19. I’ve learned that the company is supportive of its employees and its community.
My advice: Take care of yourself- we work in an industry where we literally are trained to take of other before you take care of yourself. This can cause a great toll on your physical and mental health. Make smart choices and seek help when you need it.
Favorite thing to after a shift:I’m always working on something in the bar world. I stay busy with the United States Bartender’s Guild, among other groups. Everyday involves cocktail development, reading up on recipes, or tastings.

Here’s more with Olivia:

My First Industry Job: Golf Caddie
Here’s what I like about my role: What I like about being a server is getting to meet new people everyday. You never know who you will serve and I love when my regulars come in! I love the bond and family I have with my coworkers as well!
My favorite part of being on the teamMy favorite part of being on the team is the family I’ve gained. The laughs we share and all of the people I now consider close friends.
My key mentors: My mentor I'd have to say has been Dalia. She’s taught me a ton about working here over the years and I can always go to her if I need her.
What I've learned at Fifty/50 so far: What I’ve learned at the fifty/50 so far is teamwork and helping out your community. Giving back. The charity and free meals that were given out during quarantine was amazing.
My advice: My advice for working at Roots is to learn to listen to the veteran servers and bartenders. We are the ones who know the ins and out of this place. We know all the tips and tricks and we are the backbones of this machine.
Favorite thing to after a shift:My favorite thing to do after a shift is sit at the bar with my roots homies, have a drink, and laugh together.
