Market Host

This week at the Marriott i was was a Market Host. I worked with Dan the restaurant manager and Ginny the Market Host. When I first got there the restaurant was very slow and didn't have any guest so she asked me to put sugar packets on the tables and make sure the the silver wear and cups were on the tables perfectly. Once i was done with that we looked at the menu and Ginny explained to me that it was less expensive to eat the buffet than to order from the menu, because most of the meals are around $10 - $13 and didn't include drinks, the buffet cost $15 and was all you could eat and drink. Once some customers arrived i watched Ginny take orders and helped her get all the drinks. There was one group of people that wanted to be done eating in 18 minutes so the kitchen was crazy trying to get there meals out to them as quick as possible. Once the restaurant started filling up i stood on the side and watched because everyone was moving fast and i didn't want to get in the way, every now and then i would take someones dirty dishes to the dish washer. I learned that there are different cups for soda, diet soda, and iced tea. I had a good time and learned a lot working with the Market Host.
