  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work seamlessly within a team.
  • Solid understanding of service standards, with attention to detail and a discreet approach at all times.
  • Experience supporting private events and receptions, including larger-scale gatherings (up to 100 guests).
  • Knowledge of beverages and basic mixology is an advantage.
