• Communicate effectively with the kitchen and event team to ensure efficient food and beverage service.
• Memorize event-specific menus and specialty drinks to provide accurate recommendations to guests.

• Strong ability to work as part of a team in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
• Professional appearance, excellent communication skills, and a guest-focused mindset.
• Ability to lift 40 lbs and remain on your feet for extended periods.
