a positive, professional, and upbeat demeanor helps set a pleasant tone for

guests.

·        

Speed

is most important just after guests are seated. 

Water glasses and bread are part of that, but beverage orders are

key.  Speedy beverage orders, delivery

and follow-up orders are most important when guests arrive or when the kitchen

is backed up

Being

or she had prepared them, detailing cooking method, special sauces, etc.  The ability to politely suggest preparation

alternatives to meet your guest’s dietary needs is important too.

·        

Continual

circulation is part of the communication process.  Make you’re your guests feel as if they are

your only table.  Always being available

to guests, checking in on food preparation (“Is your steak medium rare?”) will

detect errors early and allow them to be corrected.

Serving
