      Answer Example

      "I am very comfortable using MICROS because of my experience as a server. I only ring in orders when the bar becomes too busy for the bartenders scheduled. Anytime I prepare a drink, our standard is to provide a receipt right away. Then, if that guest wants to settle up, the bartender completes the transaction on the register, and I change the guest."
