Dining Room Host/Hostess

October 2018 - June 2020 • Riverdale, UT

What I liked

I liked the people that I worked with. They were very friendly and the managers were pretty flexible with my schedule. It was a really goo atmosphere, and it was a good little job for the summer. It helped me save a lot of money up for college.

What I wish was different

I wish that the hours were a little bit shorter. Sometimes I would work like 10-12 hour days. Which means I was there until open (11 am) and there until close or almost close (12 am). But other than that it is a really good job.

Advice

One piece of advice would be to have a positive attitude about it. Sometimes customers are mean and they can be really demanding so it always helps to keep a positive attitude and it will go a long ways.

What I liked

The tips were better than when I worked at MacKenzie River. My co-workers were nice too.

What I wish was different

I wish we had more help. Do to Covid-19, it was only seating half capacity, but I was usually the only host when I worked.

Advice

Learn the rules, but set a rhythm that works for you. You want to be efficient.
