Front of house training is an upskilling program that provides incumbent food workers instruction in the skills and knowledge required to excel in customer-facing roles. The program covers customer service skills, communication and conflict resolution, menu description and upselling, point-of-sale systems, and professional readiness. Through this program, members gain new skills that will position them for promotions, wage increases, and career advancement in the food industry.”
