I took over lead server role and MOD position based on having to travel back to Seattle for family reasons.
I would make sure that all side work was completed in full, and that we were on time with reservations.
As opening server I would make sure all tables were in place, all handhelds were fully functioning and charged, and that all server stations were stocked fully.
