Handling cash and electronic transactions with accuracy, verifying guest age for alcoholic beverage service, and maintaining a clean and sanitized service area are also vital responsibilities.

This role demands a driven individual who thrives under pressure, values cleanliness and organization, and delivers friendly, engaging service with a strong attention to detail.
