I take their orders and put tMonitored customer tables to ensure satisfaction and proactively replenished drinks.stomer tables and replenished drinks. I ask if they would like dessert or anything else. I then thank them, and give them there check. For banquets I set up banquet rooms according to their wishes or what type of occasion it is.I then set up tables clean and make sure im set up for buffet style or sit down. In the banquet room we do serve cocktails upon request so I do have skills for serving drinks. I also work for a separate establishment only serving drinks at bar woods in. With all my quests or positions in resturant or else where I am very professional non argumentative if a guest is upset or unhappy I immediately try to diffuse the problem by offering other solutions. Example: a different kind of cocktail special menu to keep things simple or sample with two flavors of cake for chocolate or vanilla lovers.If things are not resolved my final step is to approach my manager to help assist.
