• Mentor and help train new members of the dining team.
• Collaborate with colleagues across departments, as needed, to deliver a seamless dining experience.
• Manage your time well to keep meal prep and delivery on schedule.
• Respond to any service or food-related concerns quickly, courteously, and in keeping with our hospitality standards.
