When serving, be gentle and don't make any noise. When serving food, vegetables and bowls, hold the bottom with four pairs of fingers and gently press the edge with your thumb to avoid touching the food. Serve from the guest's left, but the drink is just the opposite. Serve from the right with your right hand: Sometimes it is more convenient to act according to the position of the table. The order of serving is best in the order of host and guest.
The waiter brought the necessities:
1, pay attention to the order of serving.
In principle, the order of serving is arranged according to local habits. For example, the order of serving in some areas is: cold dishes first, then hot dishes; Hot dishes are seafood and expensive dishes first, then meat, poultry, vegetables, soup, snacks, pasta and desserts, and finally fruit. In some areas, cold dishes are served first, then soup, and other hot dishes are served. You can ask the guests for advice first.
2. Pay attention to safety issues
When serving food, the action should be steady and light, keep the rhythm, and don't spill vegetable juice or soup on the guests or on the dining table. If the guest has ordered a lot of dishes and the table is already full of dishes, it is necessary to clean up the table first, replace the dishes that the guest has basically finished with side dishes or merge them with the consent of the guest, then remove the empty dishes and serve them at last.
When serving, avoid passing the food over the guests' heads, greet the guests, use the service honorific "I'm sorry", and then deliver it from the gap between the guests.
3. Pay attention to the rhythm of serving.
Cold dishes should be served within 10 minutes after the guest orders. When the cold dish reaches 1/2, the hot dish is served. Hot dishes are served together within 30 minutes, but they can be mastered flexibly according to the needs of guests. If a dish takes a long time to cook, you should tell the guests in advance. If the guests have special requirements, they should try their best to meet them.
When a guest orders a dish, the waiter at the counter should record the time required for serving in advance. If a dish is delayed for more than the specified time, the waiter should immediately go to the kitchen to urge the dish. The time of serving soup is flexibly controlled by the counter attendant according to the guests' dining situation. In order to ensure that guests can drink hot soup, they usually inform the waiter to get the soup in time at the end of the meal.
When the main course is served, the waiter at the counter will ask for advice when the guests order, and then serve the food on time according to the requirements of the guests, and ask the guests to greet them at any time.
