Summary
As a Host/Hostess at Bar Chido, I was responsible for creating a positive and welcoming first impression for our guests. My primary responsibility was greeting guests, managing reservations, and ensuring a smooth customer flow through the dining area. I also handled cash transitions between customers and ensured there was always a certain amount of cash in the drawer. Most days, my manager would give me other tasks to help maintain the restaurant or promote specials that we might have had for the day.
