Other tasks are taking care of the breakfast and cleaning after, making the beds and helping the housekeeper in the bedrooms, serving in the bar and helping the cook on diners nights. Sometimes you'll also do other shifts such as reception help, taking the guests out at night or to activities, going food shopping or helping us keep the place spotless by washing walls, or deep cleaning the fridge. We always try to keep it fair so everyone get a mix of all the shifts.
