- A variety of positions at a high class retirement home such as serving multiple residents at a time helping navigate an always changing menu and repeating to make sure they are satisfied with their order. Always multitasking with different tables ensuring they have ordered, gotten their food, gotten dessert, and just making sure that they know they are seen and cared for on top of that having great conversations with the residents to make their experience enjoyable, and something they wish to revisit since they are always returning.
- Hosting and checking their reservations, or walk-ins to efficiently guide them to their desired table, and keep count of residents, what tables need bussed, and who will be coming next.
- Food running out to the residents to ensure every table gets their food at an appropriate but efficient time.
- Bussing by always navigating the dinning room and cleaning a table and setting it right after at an efficient speed so the next group can come in when they arrive.
- Chores that we always have at the end of the night to clean/restock so the next day can run smoothly and fairly to our co-workers and residents.
