Meal Presentation

All staff including bar staff are expected to bring the final product to the customer. They have a working knowledge of the day’s meals and menus and understand what each dish or sides we serve.

This includes washing utensils, glasses, bar equipment, shelving, floors, sanitising countertops and cutting boards and maintaining all areas to health code standards.
Bar Setup and Breakdown
If they are the first to arrive, the bar staff turns on the lights and sets up stations and washers, starts bar prep work and prepares the bar and customer areas for service. When they’re the last to leave, the bar staff puts garnishes and utensils away, cleans and mops the floors, and turns off all electrical items for a shutdown.
