English for hotel servers and bartenders in Portland

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, natural-voice audio and daily correction — not grammar rules nobody repeats at the counter. The full program for servers and bartenders — the situations it rehearses, the target level and the price bands — is on the national restaurant & bar page.

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.
