The Taproom Host is responsible for providing an amazing first impression to each guest as they enter Big Grove.

Big Grove Hospitality Standards

I do what it takes to be successful in our culture, standards, and values.

I assist my teammates, stepping out of my primary duties when necessary, to make them more effective. (Enrich the life next to you)

I am empowered to deliver Relentless Hospitality.

I know every guest and team problem is an opportunity to make LASTing connection. LAST - Listen, Acknowledge, Solve, Thank.

I focus my attention on each person within 20 feet. I smile, make eye contact, and appropriately acknowledge each person within 10 feet. I greet any person within 5 feet. (5/10/20)

I am the greatest host of the greatest house party. I say hi, bye, and thank you until it's weird. (Host the greatest weirdest house party)

I let people know what I can do, not what I can't do . (Don't Stop, Get it, Get it)

I am proud and responsible for: 1. My professional appearance, language and behavior. 2. Our safe, clean, and beautiful place. (Look and be phenomenal)

I know sometimes a guest or teammate may not be right, but I take charitable actions to ensure they remain my guest or teammate. (Be generous with your spirit)

I prepare properly to get stuff done and deliver gold medal work. (Preparation + GSD = Gold)

I know problems are just opportunities. They are waves to ride together to success. I see my teammates and can get on my board. (Waves crush you, unless we surf together.)

I create connections so I can give, take, and share directions.
