A Day in YOUR Life as a Restaurant Server
Every person that enters our restaurant should be greeted and feel like a guest! This is YOU on your first day of work and every work day after that. You walk in with a smile, say hello to passing guests and acknowledge your colleagues perhaps with a smile, nod or salutation. You already have a feel for how your day is going to unfold based on the flow and noise level in the lobby and you aren’t even in uniform yet! You make your way to the employee change room and transform into to your, sharp, sophisticated look with your professional uniform, punch in at the time clock and energetically join your teammates in the restaurant.
You may be preparing to join a shift or open the restaurant for business. Regardless of the time of day or length of shift you are ready to meet every guest with exceptional service and care!
As we open the restaurant, we focus on cleanliness and preparedness. First impressions are essential to repeat business. How does the restaurant smell? Is it fresh, but without the smell of cleaning chemicals? Are the table chairs centred and clean? Table and bar tops clean to the touch and not sticky from the previous night? You are confident the restaurant looks great and you prepare to welcome your hotel guests and locals with a smile and cheerful attitude. The restaurant can be a lively place and should be a comfortable place for guests to gather however, we can’t do it alone. Throughout the day you will be in constant communication with your supporting team. Did you know that some guests aren’t aware of our specialty items, whether that be a local craft beer or a tasty food item from our chef!! I see an up selling opportunities in the future!
As the morning progresses into afternoon and evening, the restaurant gets busier and a contagious buzz envelops the room. There may be a large table for a business networking lunch, a group of regulars or a family who just got to town for their long awaited vacation! Regardless you read the guest as they enter and approach them with care and pleasantries. Don’t forget you are their ambassador to our hotel, surroundings and city. You may have to juggle some of those talents you have, make sure they know all the great products the restaurant has to offer, maybe find them a new beer to try, or give a recommendation on a wine pairing for their meal. By the time you leave you are more than satisfied that your guests are all taken care of having a great time in our restaurant.
