Cellar Hand (Hotel) Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent a few years keeping service smooth in busy hotels, and I’m confident I can hit the ground running at [Company Name]. In my last role I helped shoulder the cellar and back-of-house flow during peak shifts, keeping stock levels accurate and ensuring the bar ran efficiently for events with up to 200 guests. I’m practical, steady under pressure, and I value clear handoffs between kitchen, bar, and front desk. I bring solid customer service, teamwork, and communication to the table, along with a practical handle on basic food and beverage knowledge. I’m comfortable with stock control, wastage tracking, and using standard pos and inventory systems. I’ve learned how to prioritise tasks, manage time during busy periods, and adapt quickly when plans shift. One shift stands out from my time at [Previous Company]. We had a last-minute banquet for a corporate client with a tight timeline. I helped coordinate the cellar setup, assisted the bar and kitchen crews, and corrected a mismatch in wine temperature readings before service began. We finished on time and the client noted the service ran smoothly, with significantly improved communication between rooms and staff. I’m keen to discuss how I can contribute to your team at [Company Name]. I’m available for a conversation any time this week and happy to provide references. Kind regards, [Your Name]
