    i. Biography

    Coming Up

    The early roles map a bar education built on pace, floor sense, and range: nisse at Berns in Stockholm, bartender at Reisen bar in Gamla stan, Stockholm, bararbete at Riche in Stockholm, and medförfattare at Tequila & Mezcal - mexikanskt brännvin. Since 2016, Josephine Sondlo has held the barchef role at Eatery Social, where that earlier repetition now reads as control rather than movement.

    Where They Are Now

    At Eatery Social in Stockholm, the bar manager role suits Josephine Sondlo because the work is high-paced and asks for constant tracking across multiple moving parts. The fit, by her own account, is practical: she had been wanting to get back to the bar, and the position felt tailor-made for her.

    In Their Words “It is good, fun, and a fairly big challenge to work with. And there is an enormous and very powerful cultural connection to Mexico that makes it very special.” “It suited me. It is high-paced and I like keeping track of many things.”
