• Work with wait staff, kitchen, and event teams to ensure smooth group service.
• Address guest concerns professionally and escalate to management when needed.

Additional Responsibilities:

• Assist in restocking service areas and maintaining supplies during events and shifts.
• Help with post-event clean-up, including removing trash, wiping down surfaces, storing leftover items, and resetting spaces for the next event.
• Ensure all serving and event materials are returned to proper storage and report any damaged or missing items.
• Perform other duties as required or requested by management to support our operations.
