WHY LISTEN TO MANNY?

I learned the restaurant business from both sides of the hiring table.

I’m Manny Morales, a hospitality professional with 20 years of experience across New York City restaurants. I’ve earned more than $115,000 in a year working server roles and managed in Michelin-starred environments.

That means I know what ambitious hospitality professionals need to demonstrate—and what hiring managers notice when a highly coveted role is on the line. I organize that experience into practical tools you can study, use and adapt to your own career.
