Presenting menu The manager, captain or sr steward normally presents the menu to the guests. The captain or sr steward should present the menu first to the host and then to the guests. Menu for beverages should be presented first and the meal menus should be offered later accordingly The captain should inform the guest for the items not in the Meal period. Knowledge of menu. Is vital to all service staff it is very frustrating for guest to ask question. Only to be told I will find out this applies particularly to items such as the soup or dish of the day for example which all service staff should be aware of following the pre service briefing. All service staff should be familiar withered the following Pronunciation of all items. How to describe all dishes. What food and juices are in the season? Preparation time for all items. Standard abbreviation for order taking. Daily special. Presenting the bill The presentation of the check is an important part of the service experience. If a guest has to wait for the bill unnecessarily he may remember this and not the meal. The bill is prepared by the station holder, who should ensure that all the items served to the guests have been added in the bill. It should then be placed in the bill folder and presented to the host. Guest may pay by various settlements modes as discussed. The processing of the bill is the responsibility of station holder. After the settlement is done the station holder should give the guest copy to the guest with the necessary documents such as cardholders copy in case settlement by credit or debit card credit card / debit card cash balance. He should thank the guest while giving the folder back and collect it only when the guest has left the coffee shop.

At no time is a steward to dispute a guests judgment about the test or the wholesomeness of an item and is case of any complaints he / she should immediately apologize to the guest complaints should be handled in the following manner. Food complaints the waiter should offer to replace item with another of the same or and alternate dish. The waiter should exchange the item in question for the different item. If the guest does not select an alternate item the waiter should still return it to the kitchen. The manager should approve the deduction from the check and apologies. The manager should take whatever steps necessary to recover the patrons goodwill if the complaint was justified. Service or other complaints Non managerial staff should not attempt to handle non food related complaints. These should be referred directly to the manager. If staff anticipates complaints they should alert the manager to the situation so that corrective action can be taken. Assigning station The tables assigned to each steward are collectively referred to as a station. Before service commonsense, a duty roster is prepared by the restaurant manager/ captain indicating the stations which different steward have to attend. Station should be roated to enable all staff an opportunity to work in each section of the restaurant. It is inevitable that certain stations will be more desirable to the guests then others, although guests cannot be forced to sit in less popular parts of the restaurant, all employees should work all the station to ensure a more equitable balancing of the work load. When a low volume of business is forecasted and the restaurant is not staffed to capacity, the station assignments can be enlarged, do that the entire room is assigned, or sections of the room can be closed off. Mis en placed duties should also rotate according to the staff. This reduces the monotony of certain task, and improve cross training.
