  • Communicate clearly with kitchen and handroll station
  • Maintain clean bar setup, glassware, tools, and service standards
  • Support opening and closing checklists
  • Track guest feedback, service issues, and menu notes
  • Help train new FOH staff as the concept grows
  • Support the broader operation where needed during service
  • Protect a polished but approachable guest experience
