How this list was compiled

A list of 103 team names for restaurant and hospitality teams, written by Wheel of Teams on 2026-10-03 and filed in five groups. Every name is built on a word of service: a ticket, a station, a section, a host stand, a concierge desk, a banquet, a catering van or the closing shift. The names are for a crew or a team, not for a business; none was taken from a restaurant, a hotel, a group that owns them, a chef or a show, none names a drink, and any match with a real team or venue is a coincidence. The restaurant and hotel words the names lean on were looked up on 2026-10-03 in ten English Wikipedia articles, text under CC BY-SA 4.0: Kitchen brigade (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitchen_brigade), Restaurant (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restaurant), Mise en place (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mise_en_place), Waiting staff (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waiting_staff), Catering (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catering), Hotel (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotel), Concierge (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concierge), Chef (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chef), Maître d'hôtel (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ma%C3%AEtre_d'h%C3%B4tel) and Front of house (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_of_house). Compared by script on 2026-10-03 with every other list on this site: no name is repeated. Nothing was checked against a trademark register. Licence: own work
