Congratulations to our August Employee of the Month, Mr. D’s server Kim Teabout.

Nominated by one of her managers, Kim was the most requested server of the summer in the restaurant and guests would wait to be seated in her sectional. “Building guest loyalty is crucial to the success of the restaurant and time and again guests would come to the host stand and request Kim as their server”.

Great job Kim! 🎉
