E107 Ty Miners

This week we are joined by Ty Miners who currently works at The Bauer Kitchen in Uptown Waterloo.

Ty got her start in the industry about seven years ago when she landed a job at Jack Astors as a server. Ty stayed there for about a year and a half before moving on to Chucks Roadhouse to help open the first location in Kitchener. Ty worked there for about a year when she had a desire to move into a more structured environment where she could really engage with guests, tighten up her dialogue and learn more about casual fine dining.

Ty soon moved into a supervising role at The Bauer Kitchen and realized that she loved the management aspect of this part of the industry. This was a big move for Ty as she assumed that serving was going to be in her sights for many years to come, connecting with her guests and creating regulars that come in just to sit in her section. Ty wound up going full time supervisor within three months of being hired at Bauer Kitchen and put all her efforts into making sure the restaurant and the team were set for success. With all of her extra hours put in, Ty was then offered the position to be the Service Manager. This transition was not an easy one, with a whole lot of push back. However, it wound up being the right decision for Ty.

Approximately eight months later, the Beverage Manager left and Ty was considered for the position. This did not come lightly as Ty was not ready for the beverage program initially. But in Ty’s own words she said "Bring it on" and has not looked back since.
