Bar needs help when busy.
"The Bar always has a problem every time we go there. When he's filling the dishwasher he isn't serving. And the queue builds up. Each order take ages to complete. There aren't enough staff to deal with the queues. They need a buzzer to call in staff to help just for 20 mins or so."
