CrazyWaiter – the movie


In the cinema this summer: CrazyWaiter the movie. I won't spoil the story already, but I can tell you that it starts as a tragicomedy and will end as a fairytale with a beautiful, lovely princess and a big castle :)

Of course this is a gimmick for my facebookfriends, but the question which inspired me to do this was:'If you're life is a movie, how would it be like?' It's an interesting one to think about your history, see the present and dream about the future. What do you want to happen.. and what above all not to happen? How? When? Where? It's widely known that visualizing your goals is a good technique to reach them. Life is a movie and you are the director!

Hand Wash

A 14 year old boy died after eating two hamburgers at Quick (comparable to McDonalds) in the south of France. This was a big shock for me because people in this age aren't that vulnerable compared to elderly, pregnant women and kids. They are still investigating how this could have happened, but it' pretty sure that there's a link between the hygiene in the restaurant and the death of the boy.

This made me aware of the fact that we as waiter are also responsible for e-ve-ry-thing the guest puts in his mouth. A lot of this is touched by us, thus it's very important to wash our hands well regularly. In this video it's shown how!

International Hospitality Words

We all know that speaking the guests language is THE way to get rapport with him or her. Especially to make contact with the children it's good to speak some words of their mothertongue. That's why I'm started to learn the basics of several languages. I love to share my knowledge, thus I'm proud to present the

Puss och kram!

Last week I went to a big attraction parc with two women and a little lovely girl of four years from Finland. However, their mother tongue was Swedish. The girl could only speak Swedish so we had to communicate with hands, but the language barriere was very high so that made her shy. That made me so frustrated that my very very vague intention to learn Swedish has changed in a big desire to learn the basics to be able to communicate with her, collegues and guests. Remember: the easiest way (ahum...) to make rapport with somebody is to speak (a bit) of the others mother tongue!

For that I bought the  iPhone app Go Swedish. (I already had the free love-version) Here you learn the language with a girl with a very sweet voice. She has also put a lot of words on her videos at her Youtube-channel and of course she can be found at Twitter.

Thanks to this nameless Swedish(?) girl I didn't need a lot of time to learn to count till ten! yay! Jag kan räkna till tio in Svenska nu!

BTW Another great basic tutorial can be found here. But without the cute voice of my Swedish friend! :) (But I always like to use different methods at one time to learn a language)

Viva i burattini! [IT]

Viva i burattini (Long live the puppets!) is a group of Italians who play for kids. I was on holiday in Milan last summer and I saw Flavio Collicelli in the parc, playing for the Italian kids. Fantastic to see the  interaction between them and Flavio which was very lively. A great inspiration for this cameriere pazzo!
