Trainer, Lead Server
-
Mar 2006 - Jun 2013
As a trainer and lead server, I must set an example to all other servers, old and new alike, of how the company must run. I am to be a role model to the new employees and make sure they perform to company standards. By being a trainer, some of my duties were- -Show the team the steps of service that must be followed and the "how to's" of the company, specs so to speak. -Set an example, such as my uniform is always to be freshly cleaned and pressed upon my on-time arrival to work, being prepared and ready for a shift, learn how to deal with guests. -Be proactive, not reactive -During the shift, I have to make sure every other server is doing their running side work to set us up for success throughout the whole shift. -At the end of the shift, I check the servers out making sure everyone has done their part of the closing duties for their shifts before they can go home.
