Assist servers by restocking and organizing mise en place, including ramekins, condiments, and utensils. Communicate with kitchen and service staff to coordinate food flow efficiently. Maintain knowledge of all menu items and preparation methods. General Duties Complete daily checklists to ensure all pre-shift and post-shift duties are fulfilled and the operation is set and ready for service. Ensure workspaces are clean, organized, and fully stocked. Collaborate closely with servers, bartenders, kitchen staff, and management to provide a seamless dining experience.
