Hello ,
So I just got a new job , and it's sort of like a server and waitress in a big hall , I was wondering , what are some tips to do to impress the people around you?
Thank you , Betty
well done jobs are hard to come by these days. well done!
well as a customer i can tell you what i consider in a good waitress
-patience. i know some of my family can take ages to order. so just be patient.
-bubblyness. as a coach i notice kids get bored.. VERY easily. ALOT. sometime kids have those colouring things on their menu. maybe compliment them if they are colouring it in. "aww that looks pretty" cus i for one used to be so bored in restaurants withmy family. and when i say a kid i mena like 6 years old..not like 10 lol
and im going to share a story which backs up my bubbly suggestion. we once had a waitress in pizza hut that actually sat at our table, we were like on a bench thing. and she was al "hi im patricia, im your waitress for this evening, if you need anything please dont hesitiate to call me over! are you guy ready to order?" she was one of the older generation though so she got away with that i think i dont know if the younger generation would be able to but then again i dont know how old you are! you might like to try it! =) it is something i will always remember because she just had loads of enthusiasm
-which is my next point. enthusiasm. this you will need to show your boss as well as customers. everyone wants an entusiastic employee to strives for suceess.
-smiley is the way forward. i mean some people might be stopping at this place because they have had a fight with their partner. a warm smile for no aparent reason goes a very long way.
- politeness. sir, madam, ma'am, the lady, these kind of gensttures are alot better than that stingey old bugger on table 4. calling someone sir and madam generally makes someone feel specail. like royalty because its a posh label.
-apologeticness. i cant tell you how many times i have ordered something that the restaurant have *just* ran out with. and id much rather have my waitress say "im ever so sorry madam but we do not have the shepards pie today, *gives reason, which may be your stock hasnt come in, or is late, or you have genrally just ran out*, is there anything else that you would like madam?" rather than "we dont have the shepard pie today, what do you want instead". wording is everything to a customer hehe.
intrest. act as though the customer is more than jsut a customer, so, check up on them, "hello again sir, how is your meal, is there anything you or your party would like that i can get for you? is everything to your standard?" because i knwo for one that i will finish my drink in an instant. so i might want another while eating. general intrest given to your customers will make them feel more waited on and relaxed.
(Rating: 5) thank you so much , but i'm 17 and i'm in banquet hall any specific advice? also what if I have a blushing problem? is that bad?
