In 2019, Robert joined the team at Eataly Downtown as a Housekeeping Associate. After learning the department and demonstrating great reliability, he was promoted to Specialist. When a Lead position became available in the Warehouse, the management team knew that Robert’s versality and work ethic would make him a perfect fit. He proceeded to transition to Warehouse Lead at Eataly SoHo, joining the Grand Opening Team.

Confident and capable across all disciplines, Robert is like a “swiss army knife” at Eataly SoHo. He notices and suggests ways he can help, such as overseeing receiving for the store and ordering for the beverage department. Robert is always interested in learning something new and applying his knowledge. His selfless nature and dedication to his team make him an invaluable asset to Eataly SoHo.
