If necessary, I'll even say, ' Where do you prefer I put your plate?' BC sometimes I'm waiting on a table of businessmen, looking at drafts opened up and laying across the table. I will not touch someone's phones some people are way too touchy about their phones. I'd be irritated if someone touched my phone, Lol. So I ask where its best for me to place their food. It makes it seem as if you really care what works best for them (even if you really don't care, lol). If I have one available, I'll even suggest that I pull over an unoccupied table thats nearby to put the food on for them. They usually appreciate this bc it doesn't require then having to quickly rearrange themselves to make room for.their food. Don't forget to ask if they need to go boxes 😉
Homie redo this video… I looked up steps of service cuz I was confused on what that was.. idk it was the basic shit I’ve been doing for years but I don’t think you can title the video what you did. It’s honestly clickbait, your the server of an Outback or Applebees id be so annoyed with 95% of the shit you said or did. Redo this one lil homie.
One tip that I feel really helped me improve as a server.. People are there to enjoy their friends and family. So, not to butt in too much and interupt their time. Rather than stopping and asking if someone needs a refill, I just bring the refill to the table, and 9 out of 10 times, I can see the guests happy they are getting such prompt service.
I am a ICT manager in China , I want to be a waiter in USA , but looks like a lot of things need to be learn , nice vedio , many thanks
I’ve been a server for a few months now and while I’ve had positive feedback on my service, i definitely feel I could fine tune some minor flaws, so I’m very thankful for this video. Thank you for the useful information!
Great experience for the guest. Only thing I think you missed is removing the extra covers on the table.
Appreciate your content man🙌
Mate, not long ago I started working as a waiter, but I encountered such a problem that my hands are shaking what you can advise me?
Thumbs down on the plates. Nope!
Thank you so much for your videos. I have been a server for 37 years and I just have a couple suggestions. Your arm movements, I find a little bothersome. If you are bringing your customers attention to the menu, I would suggest using an open hand and not pointing and have your hand facing up. Also, try not to put your hands in your pockets – ever. If you need to do something with your hands, I would suggest clasping behind your back if you are not writing in your server book. Watching your rapid arm movements really disturbed me. I understand this is casual, but it just seemed too casual. I was reminded of a man hanging out with his buddies. She is not your buddy. She is a patron of the restaurant you work for which means she is basically your boss for the moment. Also, when dining at a relaxed restaurant, I find that I like conversation to be a little more formal. It shows respect for your customer.
…and her date never showed up🙁🎻
Camarero camarero. La cuenta por favor😂
Definitely basic information but not for fine dinning
I just bought his course for 21$ its 99.9% same videos as his youtube channel other videos after the purchase is about 40$ each section!
What an air head
You talk too fast. It's not suitable for fine dining.
Starting my first training in a cafe as a service crew tom and it's really better to research the "how to do this and that" than coming up having no idea. Thank you for this video! It's a great help
Thanks for this!
I hate serving.. I serve at Cheescake and I have to deal with 10 tables at a time and when there is one asshole it ruins everything. Although I love serving whne I get nice customers or when it’s just slow. I would love to serve at a fancy restraunt though
aight
Hi! Could you provide questions and answers for waiter please
This guy sucks at servering
What an actress
How many servers here don’t get two weeks worth of training when they start a company?
Can’t even serve her right she rizzing you up 😂😂😂
appreciate these
