Maintaining the cleanliness and appearance of the bar by wiping surfaces, organizing workstations, and keeping service areas guest-ready. Preparing the bar before service and completing detailed closing responsibilities at the end of each shift. Communicating with Bartenders and Leadership to anticipate inventory needs and maintain efficient operations. Responding quickly to guest requests and supporting the team in resolving service opportunities with professionalism. Jumping in wherever needed during busy service periods because great hospitality is always a team effort.
