Dine well, dine right

There are a lot of rules, manuals and procedures for us waiters, but Mr. Wolfe has made a checklist Dine well, dine right for our dear guests. Print and hand out :)

1. Call ahead

  • Go ahead and book a table now for New Year's Eve, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, a birthday, anniversary or other special occasion.  These dates tend to be pretty static year-in and year-out.
  • If it is a celebration, inform the person taking the reservation of the particulars; name of the birthday guest, an anniversary, etc.
  • This would be a good time to request a special table, particular waiter or alert the Chef to any food allergies.

Somewhere over the Rainbow – Israel “IZ” Kamakawiwoʻole

This song was played as an openingsdance on a wedding where I served long time ago. It was a wedding of a son of a banker with an atmosfere which made me think of the one in the film Festen. It's a very sweet song and I was directly flabergasted when I heard it for the first time.

I don't know why it's a hit now in iTunes France after seven years (I think it "flew over" from Germany and Austria), but it's a good reason to post here, because it's a great melody to hum or sing for your (little) guests full of hope.

Do You Do That at Home?

Sometimes there are guests who are eating and put all the restmaterial besides their plate on the table. Or throw it on the floor. Like some children who mess up around 3 meters of them. And then I wonder "Do you do that at home?". Today I discovered a nice waitressweblog with that title: Do You Do That at Home?. Worth reading!
