Conduct a Coat Check Staff Meeting

Pre-event preparation and setup involve conducting a bar staff meeting. The coat check captain should conduct this meeting, following the protocols defined in the Capitan Fundamentals course (CAPT 1000).

However, when the coat check captain assigns roles, they should distinguish between internal divisions within the coat check. There are:

  • Coat Check Staff Interacting with Guests (”FOH” Coat Check): Greet guests as they arrive, check their belongings, provide the bottom section of the coat check ticket, and pass the checked items with the remaining sections to other staff

  • Coat Check Staff Not Interacting with Guests (”BOH” Coat Check): Receive checked belongings, manage items like bags and/or umbrellas, and ensure the top two sections of the coat check ticket are attached to the relevant belongings
