This course was very educational and well put together

I was nervous to try this course out and honestly you can do this in about an hour or more. Each video is very straight forward, and you can repeat it as much as you'd like to get the hang of it! I wrote notes and everything that I wrote down had been on the exam before I reviewed. Don't be nervous for all new hires that are working at a restaurant, it's easy peezy.
