Comments:
In the case of customer dissatisfaction and complaints in many restaurants, many fundamental reasons are that the restaurant has not made enough pre-meal preparation, the waiter has not followed the pre-meal preparation process well, and many details need to be paid attention to. The restaurant's foreman, front office minister and other management personnel have not checked in place, which eventually leads to poor service in the restaurant.
In fact, in the pre-meal preparation of the restaurant, the waiter does have a lot of work to do. The first thing is to accept the task assignment and know your service area, then check the service workbench and service area, get familiar with the menu, the food information such as the push and lack of food on the day, and understand the key customers and special precautions. If the preparation is not sufficient, it will have a great impact on the meal. For example, if the tableware is not fully prepared, then we are busy adding seats and turning tables, which leads to the decline of service speed and quality and directly affects customer satisfaction. Therefore, no matter the environment, countertops, spare tableware, lighting, temperature and equipment, every detail is very important, which is directly related to the smooth operation.
