Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
My role includes running a shift and managing team members on that shift. Communicating with back of house and ensuring all the guests are happy. I deal with any problems or complaints and help the team run a smooth shift. I encourage team members progression and strive to keep brand standards high.
