职场能力评价定义
Daniel Tapia
Sommelier
Los Angeles, CA, USA
As a sommelier, I have a deep knowledge of wine, beer, and spirits. More importantly, I have a strong knowledge of people, from educating staff to curating a perfect evening for guests.
Work Experience
Owner/Managing Member • DTap Tavern Co., LLC
February 2014 - November 2019
Built, owned, and operated Fourth & Olive, a farm driven concept serving Alsatian cuisine, and PigBurd, an American bistro with a focus on locally sourced ingredients.

About half of our veteran staff had VA rated disabilities greater than 50%. This was a social-entrepreneurial company.
• Recognized by LA Weekly as "The Best Restaurant in Long Beach" our first year open.
• Created a full menu entirely from scratch. We baked bread, made all of our condiments, had a butcher, cured and fermented our own products, and more.
• In addition to managing our veteran staff, I took them to VA appointments, helped them apply for benefits, assisted with getting aid from congresspeople.
