The Osthoff Resort is a four dimond resort located in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. I have worked here for three years. I am a banquet server and bartender. It's a really nice job to have, its definately a bonus having your sister as a boss. (Most of the time)
Banquet life-
Being a banquet server, we are required to wear a uniforn. That uniform consist of a white shirt, with a black and gray checkered vest, a long skirt for girls and black pants for the guys. Girls also must wear tights, and to top it all of each of us get to wear a wonderful black bowtie. We walk around looking a lot like penguins. Each day/night we come into work and have to set each room for the event, go through the dinner, lunch, or breakfast service. Then we must clear and clean up the tables in the front of the house. After that we have a list in the back of the house we must complete each and everyday!
Banquet Peolple-
There are people of all ages working in banquets, from the age of 16 to 70. It gets really interesting learning about each different person. But at the Osthoff we have many family members that work together. Which brings a lot of drama into work. We have several mom/daughters, mom/son, siblings, and friends of co-workers who work here. Outsiders don't feel very welcome at first. Many don't last very long, but now and then we get some that make it through the drama and the intense work hours.
The show-
I have a brillant idea that we should have a reality tv show about us, because so many people know each other, lots of drama comes out. We have some backstabbing going on, some yelling that goes on, and a little bit of romance. Overall we love each other and do our best to work together as a team, and make our customers happy. Having a tv show would be pretty cool, it would definately open some people's eyes up about who they really are, how slow they really work, and in general people would find out much more about themselves.
