Overall, the experience was good as they were very flexible with their student workers, when it came to rescheduling due to finals or school work. My duties consisted of helping chefs prepare meals, helping serve them to patrons, and making sure that the dining area was always clean and presentable. The closing shift can be stressful as there is a lot more nuanced tasks, such as wiping down all the chairs in the dining room, and cleaning out the food disposal drains. All in all, not a bad place to work while going to school."
