If a station in the dining room is a symphony, the server is its conductor. Servers are responsible for leading and maintaining the communication between the entire service team, while also being the primary presence at the table. Servers must be able to delegate and prioritize quickly and constantly. Servers take control and ownership of every guest’s experience. Servers have a high degree of emotional intelligence and deliver thoughtful, empathy-driven service as a result of this.

They have a strong, confident presence at the table that is derived from their comprehensive food, wine and spirits knowledge.
