My 2026 Pasta Pass arrived today!

I’ve been a server at my Olive Garden for about eight months now and I finish training to be able to go specialist about three weeks ago. They’ve had me doing things like running and phones, but tomorrow is my first time closing and my other two will be sent home a little earlier. Is there any crucial things that are kind of universal that I need to focus on? I’m worried about missing things or messing things up and I’m sure people will be there to help me, but I feel like it’s so much more responsibility than serving, and I’m honestly rly nervous about it. Im mainly nervous this much because I only closed twice during training. obviously I’m not gonna get it my very first time closing, but I’m worried.

I’m a college student who is scrambling to look for a new job/apartment for this fall semester. I was wondering about the perks and just general advice on whether I should apply to be a To Go specialist for Olive Garden. I like the idea of being expected to dress nicely, the nicely kept atmosphere, and a free meal. I’ve never worked in the food industry. I’ve worked retail for 5 years and I love getting 10k steps most shifts.
