Another fine dining establishment. Includes normal serving duties as well as a great deal of sidework as any other job has.

I was in charge of opening and closing the restaurant for brunch every Sunday. I was trusted with the deposit and making the schedule for the other servers. I dealt with any problems that presented with guests or employees. I also took tables and bartended while I managed. 

I was assigned 10+ patients every night, all with different diagnoses and issues. I was trusted with taking care of their every need. This description is hard because every patients needs varied so greatly, other than just the daily living cares.

Closed bar five nights a week from the day I started due to my experience. I was in charge of all other bartneders' tipouts. I stocked and took inventory, and of course made drinks for not only my guests in the bar, but for all other servers throughout the restaurant.

My first fine dining experience and it was a lot of fun. I learned about the "amuse bouche" and "mise en place." At this job I never stood still, there was always something to do. The restaurant has a full bar but no bartender, so on top of all our regular duties, we were also our own bartenders.

Normal serving duties. I gained more wine knowledge with this job.

Normal serving duties. I pride myself on staying busy and learning new skills, so when we were slow or in need of another hand I would help in food prep, dishpit, hostessing, and I would expodite on nights we needed it.
