Al Maha Arjaan by Rotana in Abu Dhabi, UAE, has appointed Ahmed Al Masry as the new food and beverage (F&B) manager at its upcoming café.

Located in the heart of the capital on 5th Street and Hamdan Street, Café 302 is situated inside the deluxe hotel apartment complex. Al Masry will be responsible for looking after the operations of the F&B unit and will assume responsibility of its sales, profitability, and performance.

He has a considerable background in F&B with numerous hotel chains in the region and internationally. He joined Rotana in August 2013 as outlet manager, where he overlooked operations at a sister property in Abu Dhabi. He was also a part of the team which oversaw the opening of various Hyatt properties within the GCC.  

Sherif Madkour, general manager of Al Maha Arjaan by Rotana, said: “We are happy to welcome Ahmed as our new F&B manager. His energetic, highly motivated character is the perfect fit for opening this bespoke new café and ensuring a unique dining experience to each of our guests. We are pleased to be able to move forward with our ambitious expansion strategy and Café 302 is a huge milestone marking our success in this area. Ahmed will be the go-to person for the operations of the café. We at Al Maha are looking forward to utilising his skills and experience to transform Café 302 into the ‘place to be’ in Abu Dhabi.”

AAl Masry said: "It is such an honour and privilege to have been selected to manage the operations of a project as exciting as Café 302. Opening a brand-new F&B outlet is always challenging, but with the right tools, commitment and dedication. I have no doubt that this undertaking will be a huge success.”
