  • Maintain deep knowledge of Wagyu cuts, grilling techniques, and ideal seasoning
  • Clean and maintain roasters with care, including safe grill‑net changes
  • Set and reset tables to luxury standards with meticulous attention
  • Uphold a pristine dining environment and support an elegant service flow
  • Enter orders accurately and coordinate pacing smoothly with the kitchen
