Ms. Keller is a distinguished figure in the hospitality industry, known for her role as co-owner of Wendell's, where she has served for three years. At Wendell's, Ms. Keller is responsible for a wide range of operational tasks, encompassing all day-to-day operations of the restaurant, in both the back of the house and front of the house. Her hands-on approach extends to serving guests and creating new and exciting craft cocktails. Her spouse complements her work by managing kitchen operations and cooking, as well as by creating innovative and bold new menu items. Prior to her current role at Wendell's, Ms. Keller honed her skills in various capacities within the hospitality sector, beginning her career in the industry as a server and bartender, and later advancing to managerial roles in local eateries in Utah and Colorado. Despite not initially envisioning herself as a manager, she embraced leadership opportunities with pride and responsibility.
Ms. Keller's expertise lies in customer engagement, a skill she has mastered over the years, which has been pivotal to her success. She has been featured in articles that highlight her innovative approach to fostering community at Wendell's, notably through initiatives like including regular customers' names on their menu boards — a gesture that has fostered a strong sense of belonging among patrons. Her career journey began with roles that laid the foundation for her leadership in hospitality management.
Ms. Keller considers her family to be the backbone of her success, and her love for them reflects the same passion and commitment that she shows in her business pursuits. She is particularly proud of her marriage to her husband and business partner, Roy Benoit, which also made her the stepmother of Raylan and Clasen. Her partnership with Roy has been instrumental in their shared success, as they both give their all to run a quality and ethical business, bringing exemplary service to the Berkeley neighborhood.
Ms. Keller's community involvement includes fundraising efforts, such as donating proceeds from Hawaiian specials to victims of the fire in Maui and contributing to the Parkinson Association of the Rockies. These activities reflect her commitment not only to her business but also to giving back to the community.
Looking ahead, Ms. Keller plans to open a second location to expand the Wendell's brand or launch a new restaurant concept that combines the atmosphere of a bar and grill. She is excited about creating new drink recipes and culinary ideas with the aim of growing her business further over the next five years.
