Etiquette Tips For Restaurant Servers

December 15, 2018December 26, 2018

Restaurants are places where various kinds of people go to enjoy a good meal, but along with a good meal, customers prefer an excellent service from the restaurant. Not all the customers that walk into a restaurant come in a good mood, everyone is dealing with their problems, and at the end of the day, they all want to enjoy a good meal.This is where the servers come to play their role.
Servers in any restaurant have one of the most important jobs of all, and thus they must be on their toes at all times. Any customer can walk in, and they must always be a server to greet them. Servers are the ones who must remember every single item on the menu as they can be asked about anything from the menu and the response cannot be “I don’t know.” They must be prepared to have all the answers through the day as they encounter various people.

The following are some of the most crucial etiquettes that server must have at all times-

1) Being Pleasant-

A server must always greet everyone with a smile, no matter even if they are going through a bad day personally. They shouldn’t let any negative vibe reflect when they welcome the customers.

2) Look fresh at all time-

It is essential to look your best while you at any workplace . Especially if you’re a server, then you must look fresh and bright at all time because you’re the first person the customer sees when they walk in. Another reason to look fresh and bright is that unlike many other jobs, you are on constant on display and should not take the risk of sounding clumsy at any given time.

3) Always be prepared-

A server must know the entire menu at the tip of their tongue. A server must always inform the customer if there is a dish that is not available before the customer starts to place their order.

4) Patience is the key-

A server must always be patient and must not interrupt any form of conversation. Always wait for the person to finish speaking before you say anything. A server must always be patient with customers, as some customers take a lot of time to place their order, a server must be ready to stand there and listen to every single order before leaving the table.

5) Always stay alert-

A server must be alert at all times as any person from any table can ask them for their service. Even if it’s not their assigned table, a server must not refuse and should go to see what they require at all times.

6) Server Everyone together-

A server must bring a table’s food all at once. It should never be the case where three people are eating, and the fourth one is still waiting on their order. Serving everyone at the same time is one of the most important etiquettes.

Dining Etiquette

December 2, 2018December 26, 2018

Dining etiquette is essential for every single person as the way a person sits, eats and speaks defines that very person. While at a formal meeting or gathering of family or friends it is important to behave in a particular manner at a restaurant. It does not matter if you know them very well, there are certain things a person should not say and do while they are seated for dining.
Many people go with the understanding of their everyday social interactions and behave accordingly to it which is not wrong, but alongside this, there have to be specific rules that have to be followed. First impressions are crucial thus to make an excellent first impression one has to behave in a particular manner and follow certain etiquette. Here are a few dining etiquettes that’ll enhance your dining experience.

1)Greeting-

When invited to a formal party or a friends house it is always good to take a small gift along. The gift should be anything that can be used during dinner as the menu is always pre-planned. Always greet with a smile and pleasant words. Never interrupt two people while they are having a conversation, wait for them to finish and then speak.

2) Time Management-

Always be 10 to 15 minutes early. If due to an emergency one is running late it is important to call and inform ahead. Time management is highly significant as it speaks about the character of a person.

3) Clean and well fitted-

A well dressed and groomed person will always make an excellent first impression. The host will or hostess will get to know their level of importance based on how the guest looks. People often make the mistake of using too much cologne which usually ends up backfiring. A perfect way to apply cologne is one spray on the wrist, one on the inner side of the jacket and one on either side of the neck.

4) Table Manners-

It is essential never to sit on the table before the host or hostess sits down. Always make it a point to pass the plate using the right side. Always keep the rim of the plate clean as it does not damage the cuff of a shirt and it is also helpful as it is easy to pass the plate without the fear of dropping it.

5) Eating Manners-

A person must never talk while eating food. Any food must be consumed with the mouth being closed at all times. Cell phones must either be switched off or kept on silent mode, and they should not be used on the table, one must excuse themselves from the table if they want to use their cell phones.

6) Restroom Manners-

The word restroom should be avoided in its entirety. If a person wishes to use the restroom or to leave the table, they must always do it by saying “Excuse me” or “ ill be right back.”

7)After dining-

Once the meal is over never leave the table. Always wait for the host to finish their food and signal that the dining has come to an end. Always keep the culinary on the plate, parallel to each other and the napkin next to plate folded, signaling that you are done.

Whether it be a formal or informal dining always thank the person hosting the dining. If it is formal dining, it is important to send them a thank you card describing the wonderful experience in one to two sentences. In the ’90s not many people paid any attention to the dining habits and its etiquettes, but all that is changing with the current generation. The current generation focuses more on the manners and behavioral aspects of life.
