Chef-bartender
Sage is a unique project on the market, primarily thanks to the people who created it and breathed life into every process. That light in your hearts allows you to find strength and inspiration to be better every day than yesterday.
During my ten-year career in the industry I’ve worked in almost all positions - from waiter to chef-bartender. I see my mission in conscious activity aimed at making the guest feel comfortable from the first to the last minute of their stay in the bar.
