Service with Style


“I don’t get no respect” – Rodney Dangerfield

Are you guys ready to order? Do you know what you want to drink? Any of you care for dessert? Here’s your check.
No… this isn’t my table. Have a good one…

Sound familiar?? If this is how your wait staff approaches their tables, it’s time to revisit their ‘table manners’.

Here are some thoughts...
How is everyone today? Can I start you off with a drink or appetizer?
While you’re looking over the menu, let me tell you about our delicious specials!
We have a great dessert menu, can I interest any of you with today’s selections?
Thank you so much, let me take that up for you when you’re ready.
Have a fantastic day! Please stop in and see us again!


As Aretha would say ‘R E S P E C T –find out what it means to me’… well, to me, it means a lot!!
