I don't drink much so wine and the cocktails have been the biggest chanllenge for me!! I am trying to decide which cocktails or other alc. bevs to push? And also how is the best way to describe them? I am horrible at describing them bc I do not drink so I don't know what to say! For instance say I was gonna push a strawberry maragarita I would say it is frozen and is made with strawberry! Can be served on the rocks! lol No one wld buy from me:-) Please help me. Please tell me what has worked for u.

2nd question...what questions get asked the most? Describe the soups or what dinners/lunch do you suggest? Should i work my hardest at first getting good at describing quickly soups and apps. Or entrees. I am studying for hrs wach day because product knowledge is so important.

Can I just get some advice....? Never worked at resturant. I am just really good with sales and customer service!! But never sold food or been server:)

Thanks so much. Mostly need help w/ alcohol and any other tips!
 
I would just go online somewhere and learn about drinks. For instance, I think read wine goes with steak and white wine goes with fish. Hey, I dunno. When I worked at Olive Garden I was a pasta maker!
