What previous students are saying...

  • Isabella

    Thank you so much for making this course! It's been super helpful for consolidating knowledge gained over the past season and ensuring I'll be confident in service in the future! I thought the added assignments were beneficial as this allowed me to put theory into practice, as this is my particular learning style. It also enabled me to create a mini portfolio of table decor to show potential Chiefs for perspective jobs. Super helpful - thank you!

  • Kayla

    This course was a great introduction to Service basics, which I think will benefit me when I get into a service role to be familiar with the terminology and standard practices. The way the course was laid out was straightforward to follow but, at the same time, required you to pay attention and put in the work to pass the quizzes and assignments, which I thought was really good.

  • Ginna

    I loved this course! I chipped away at it during my season. Each chapter was super relevant to the work I was doing onboard. There was a bit I already knew, but it was nice to re-learn it here, as it gave me a good confidence boost. I loved the theme night section! It was fantastic seeing examples of what stews have done in the past and learning how to make theme nights that little bit extra. I also really enjoyed the course layout, easy to follow with a mix of different types of assessments.

Creeping around the table, feeling uncomfortable and like you shouldn’t be there.

Running back and forth to the pantry because you’ve forgotten something for the bar.

Thinking “what on earth is this fork for?”
