STAFF FEATURE

A familiar sight at The Club for the past 16 years, Yusman tried his hand at multiple roles before finding his niche in food & beverage service. With the new all-day-dining restaurant set to open soon, Yusman has gamely taken on the role of Tradewinds’ Service Director – join us in congratulating him on his new role! HE’S THE ( Yus )MAN

What does the role of a Service Director (SD) entail ? As SD, I oversee operations – from making sure that we have enough staff on shift and that our service standards are top-notch to ensuring that my team is constantly being challenged and growing in their roles. It is important for us to groom and train staff – be it training a newcomer who recently joined The Club, or sending our existing staff for external courses. Learning never ends when you’re part of The Club! I also work closely with the Chefs to implement monthly dining promotions and specials. Efficiency is also key to ensuring Members are happy – that food is served piping hot and promptly, and Members don’t have to wait too long for service.

What can Members look forward to at Tradewinds? Tradewinds will devote equal attention to both buffet and a la carte offerings. There will be an open concept kitchen with a pizza station, omelette station, local delicacies station and a western station. We’ve also taken into consideration the changing food habits of our Members, and the Tradewinds menu will feature healthy, vegetarian and gluten-light options. Chef Chuan, formerly from Brewerkz, has recently joined our team of Chefs and will oversee the new menu. But fret not – old Eagle’s Nest favorites are here to stay, but with some fresh new creations!
