Asghar Ali Khan

Restaurant & Bar Manager
Moving from Pakistan to Malaysia in search of better opportunities, I first entered the food and bevarage industry in Kuala Lumpur, 2010 at the age of 19. Arriving not fluent in English or Malay, let alone knowledge of F&B, I have since developed steadily - dutifully and consistently delivering hard work - both towards self-development and my employers. Today, I find myself manager of Locker and Loft, restaurant and speakeasy bar located in Damansara Kim, confident in my field, able to both lead and serve. I am highly observant as well as loyal to my employers and the best interests of the company alongside providing the best experiences for all customers. One of my traits that has brought me this far, as described by a friend, is "having a friendly demeanour and charming character, always smiling, and a gift for remembering faces - treating everyone with respectful attentiveness and the warmth of a friend".
