1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

As a team leader I open and close the pub . This makes me the duty manager. I have to make sure everyone is doing there job and is debriefed at the beginning of their shift. I also do money management such as cash up and banking. As well as the stuff listed above I also have to control labour and stock costs .

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

Yes, I've learnt more about cost controls and how to read a p and l report. I've also learnt about management styles and how I can use them while working. I've also learnt more about pairing food items with drinks which helps with customer service. And legislation and why it's important to abide by it

This is the 3rd apprenticeship I've done with lifetime , I am always happy with the outcome , however due to the pandemic it was more stressful having to do it online but nothing can be done about that

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

It is very structured there's clear deadlines to hit and it works around your job , so as long as you do the work there isn't any problems , if there is any issues you usually get a phone call to say that a visit will be re-arranged
