English for hotel servers and bartenders in Portland
Servers work in a city where guests came specifically to eat, describing oysters, catch of the day and tasting menus. Detailed description in English is precisely what the guest is paying for.
Inglés Hotelero trains Spanish-speaking servers and bartenders at hotels in Portland, Maine in the English their shift actually requires: taking the order, describing the menu and handling allergies. Each employee takes a free CEFR placement test, then practices five minutes a day on a lean web-based platform with native-speaker audio and same-day correction. Pricing is per property and starts at $150 USD a month.
Not general English. The English your restaurant & bar team uses every shift.
Your servers and bartenders practice exactly what they face in front of a guest: taking the order, describing the menu and handling allergies. Model phrases, native-speaker audio and daily correction — not grammar rules nobody repeats at the counter.
Maine's hospitality workforce increasingly includes immigrant and asylum-seeker communities, and Portland has actively recruited into hospitality from them. Guests arrive largely for the food and the walkability, meaning they ask for recommendations constantly. A property whose staff cannot hold that conversation in English loses the exact interaction the market is built on.
Five minutes a day, measurable from HR.
