Garnish Prep: Cut fruit, prep juices, and set up station needs before service starts.
Cleanliness: Wash and polish glassware, wipe down counters, and clear empty bottles or trash.
Keg Changes: Swap out empty draft beer kegs and check soda gun lines.

Food Runner Duties

Order Delivery: Carry food trays from the kitchen expo line straight to the correct guest tables.
Order Verification: Check plates before leaving the kitchen to ensure accuracy and presentation standards.
Table Support: Assist servers and bartenders by clearing finished plates, refilling water, and wiping down tables.
Communication: Relay special dietary requests or customer feedback between the floor and the kitchen staff.

Skills and Qualifications

Physical Stamina: Ability to stand or walk for long shifts and lift heavy items (up to 50 lbs like cases of liquor or kegs).
Communication: Clear verbal skills to talk with chefs, bartenders, and guests under pressure.
Multitasking: Ability to prioritize tasks on the fly during busy peak hours.
Requirements: Often requires being of legal age to handle alcohol and having flexible availability for nights, weekends, and holidays
