The annual employee party for the Cook's Lobster House team was the stepping stone for what is now a goal to be the regional best at restaurant challenge. Two intense competitions were held for the right to be called the best. The Server obstacal course.

You as hospitality people have the unique opportunity to have your guest be your greatest advertising tool.
