Stephanie Keyt
As the General Manager at El Gaucho Tacoma, Stephanie is one of the few women to take the reins of a prominent American steakhouse. Born and raised in Tacoma, she started working as a restaurant hostess at the age of 16 and became hooked on hospitality. Keyt joined the El Gaucho team in 2008 and has worked at three of the five El Gaucho locations as a bartender, server, bookkeeper, trainer, captain, events director, and now as GM at El Gaucho at Tacoma. In addition to being known for her quick-wit and sarcasm, Stephanie is also organized, hard-working, and great at multi-tasking. With these traits and small stature, her nickname has become “Iron Cupcake.”
Stephanie’s favorite part of working at El Gaucho is that “I can 100% stand behind and truly believe in the level of service, and quality of product we provide, which allows me a level of integrity when working with guests.”
