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.

Oregon's hospitality and agricultural workforce includes a substantial Spanish-speaking population, particularly connected to the Willamette Valley. Portland's guests come largely for the food and the walkability and ask for recommendations constantly. A property whose front line cannot hold that conversation in English has quietly handed its concierge function to the guest's phone.
