FOOD AND BEVERAGE

Mike van der Spuy - Owner Ferrymans Tavern and Director for Greens Restaurants

Tim’s comprehensive knowledge of the restaurant business is an asset to the industry and should be utilized by anyone seeking to open a new business or looking to improve their existing establishment.  Tims in depth knowledge of the restaurant business and amiable relaxed personal style was most pleasing to see.

Tim has the ability to engage the existing management team with change without alienating/upsetting those who have many years of service with the company.

Gaby Gramm - General Manager Steenberg Hotel.

"Your process is very good for the relatively short time you have spent here. Your report back document is very thorough and a good basis for what we have to get done now. You got the brief from us and delivered exactly on this".

Henry Shields - Owner of Marimba Restaurant.

"Tim Wagner served Marimba Restaurant & Cigar Bar as the first General Manager of this 350 seater up market operation.

His duties included liaison with the designer, contractors and landlord whilst training the opening staff off site, as well as arranging all licenses prescribed by law.

Focus, persistence, energy and multitasking abilities of the highest order produced consistent results.

Mr Wagner has a ‘ command presence ‘ as well as ethical standards that earned him respect internally amongst staff, colleagues and the owners, as well as industry respect.

We accepted Mr Wagner’s resignation with reluctance, whilst recognizing that he made a logical career move to a much larger entity.

As a measure of our good relations, we consulted Mr Wagner after he ceased to be our GM and we anticipate doing business with him on an ongoing basis in the future."
