To ensure accurate orders, I always repeat the order back to the guest to confirm, which helps avoid misunderstandings. I also make quick notes on the order and double-check before serving to minimize mistakes. Effective communication with the kitchen staff is crucial, making sure everyone is aligned on what’s being served.

I love the energy of working in hospitality because it allows me to meet diverse people and create memorable experiences for them.

Handling cash and credit card transactions requires meticulous attention to detail. I make sure to follow the specified procedures for handling payments, regularly checking that the cash register is correct at the start and end of my shift. Being organized and careful helps ensure accuracy and a smooth transaction process for our guests.

During a busy shift, I prioritize tasks by focusing on the most immediate guest needs first, such as taking orders and serving food or drinks. I keep a mental list of ongoing tasks and ask my team for support when necessary, ensuring we can manage the workflow efficiently while providing the best guest experience.

If I don’t know the answer to a guest's question, I acknowledge their inquiry and assure them that I will find out the information. I would then seek assistance from a knowledgeable team member or consult the menu/resort guidelines quickly to provide the accurate details. Guests appreciate our efforts to ensure they receive the best information.
