Our work is not limited to simply serving food at the table for guests to enjoy until they request the check. Additionally, we aim to create a memorable and unique experience — with food and beverage as central elements. Our Guest Service Experts take the initiative in delivering a wide range of services designed to enhance the guest experience. Whether setting tables, assisting in the kitchen, cleaning work areas, or restocking supplies, Guest Service Experts ensure every service contributes meaningfully to the guest experience.
Regardless of your specific role, certain fundamentals are essential to success (creating a safe workplace, following company guidelines and procedures, maintaining quality standards, and ensuring your uniform, personal appearance, and communication remain professional). Guest Service Experts are constantly on the move (standing, sitting, walking for extended periods, navigating sloped, uneven, and sometimes slippery surfaces), reviewing menus (reading and verifying information), and performing various physical tasks (moving, lifting, carrying, pushing, and placing objects under 50 pounds without assistance; reaching overhead and bending down; performing movements requiring knee bending, twisting, stretching, and stooping). It is essential that Guest Service Experts consistently perform these tasks — and other reasonable duties assigned — to ensure guest satisfaction and smooth hotel operations.
