Typical duties include welcoming guests, taking and serving orders, setting and clearing tables, maintaining service standards, processing requests, and coordinating with the kitchen. Candidates should have hospitality or restaurant experience, good grooming and communication skills, a guest-focused attitude, and basic knowledge of food and beverage service.
