Handling customer requests outside of regular service times requires discretion and the ability to balance customer satisfaction with operational constraints. Training can help young people develop these skills, including the importance of discretion in customer service interactions. discretion in a restaurant setting is crucial for maintaining a positive customer experience. While saying no is sometimes necessary, how it's communicated can make all the difference. It's about finding a balance between accommodating requests and managing expectations, all while ensuring the customer feels respected and valued. While there might not be a formal degree for customer handling, it's a skill that's honed through a combination of experience and training. The more opportunities one has to interact with customers and receive guidance and feedback, the more proficient they become in handling various situations effectively. You only have to look at the body language in this video and facial expressions that no training was given. These are the scenarios I put in my training and it works.

Do you know how to work with the restaurant staff to ensure a successful meal meeting? This is something we too often take for granted. A restaurant that caters to a business clientele makes an extra effort to train its staff appropriately. You also have a responsibility to ensure a successful meal meeting experience. Knowing how to work with restaurant staff effectively is to your advantage. They are there to serve food and ensure all your dining needs are met and your meal is successful.   TIP: If you have never dined at a restaurant selected for a meal meeting, enjoy a meal beforehand. This allows you to ask questions regarding the menu options and familiarizes you with the atmosphere. It is essential if you or your guests have food sensitivities! You should also be familiar with the location and travel time. Introduce yourself to the restaurant host or manager and establish the name and face recognition so they can greet you by name. This will make an impressive statement for your client or prospective client. PLEASE SHARE YOUR TIPS.

“To me, there’s no great chef without a great team.” - Chef @danielboulud Boulud It is this understanding that allows a good restaurant to reach for greatness. Every restaurant needs a chief ambassador, a person who personifies what the restaurant is all about, a person who sets the tone for how the business will operate and how perceptions will be built.  But, if a restaurant fails to understand the importance of the supporting cast, then greatness will elude them. Building a Team is the most important job a chef or operator can undertake.  In the kitchen or you call it the F&D, the pursuit of ” fit ” cooks and F&D team is at the top of every chef’s “to-do” list. #chefporn #cheflife #chefselection #chefsinstagram #chefsteam #chefsplate #chefwork #cheflife🔪 #dubaichefs #gastronomie #gastronomy #gastroart #artofcooking #artofplating #foodbloggers #foodies #foodlover #hiltongardeninn #foodanddrink #foodandbeverage #fingerfood https://lnkd.in/dgapDpuP

Being a waiter or waitress is truly an art. In fact, for reasons more than evident, it is one of the most important profiles. We summarize the 7 most evident things that it is ideal for every waiter to know and apply in their performance: 🍽️👨🍳 1.- It is very important that the waiter knows which dishes are not available for each service, to communicate it to the customers in time and avoid frustrations. 🛑🔍 2.- Appetizers, starters, and desserts are always better served all together. It is more appropriate to serve, for example, 3 starters that have been ordered together, even if you have to wait for all of them to come out of the kitchen, than at different times, as customers generally feel more comfortable this way. 🥗🍮 3.- When the waiter comes to take the order, most of the time customers have not yet fully decided. Keeping this in mind prevents annoyances. Patience and more patience is the formula. ⏳😌 4.- Many customers do not listen carefully when the waiter is explaining the ingredients and cooking method of the dishes, or do not understand it at first. So the waiter or waitress must be willing to repeat the information probably more than once. 🗣️👂 5.- Having comfortable and non-slip shoes is simply fundamental. It is a working tool that the better quality it has, the easier the day will be and it can save the waiter from accidents more than once. 👟🛑 6.- Be careful not to interrupt customers in the middle of a conversation. In these cases, it is always advisable to wait until the customer gives the waiter the word. Not only is it polite but it is also a courtesy highly valued by diners. 🤫✋ 7.- If the customer asks to remove a plate full of food, it is essential that the waiter kindly ask why it did not meet their expectations. It is an honest gesture towards customers and also a great opportunity to improve restaurant management. 🍽️📋 If in your dining room and during your services, you keep these tips in mind, you are surely already seeing the results: well-served customers and especially waiters performing their duties in a more fluid and harmonious way. #WaiterTips #RestaurantManagement #CustomerService #HORECA #CookingEurope

In FAESOSTA FOODS AND RESTAURANTS, the day starts with the preparation of fresh ingredients, chefs coordinating in the kitchen, and staff setting up the dining area.

There's a constant rhythm of food being prepared, served, and tables cleared. The atmosphere evolves from a calm ambiance during early hours to a more vibrant one during peak dining times. Challenges arise, such as managing reservations, addressing customer requests, and ensuring a smooth flow in the kitchen.

It's a dynamic environment where teamwork and attention to detail are crucial for a successful dining experience.
