The Secrets to Bigger Tips

AWESOME Service (part 9)


Encourage

“Y’all come back now, ya hear?”

This may be a little down home. But we sure want the guest leaving feeling that we really do want them to come back for another visit.

But it is extremely important that throughout their dining time that we continue to develop that rapport and friendship with them that will encourage them to return again.

If we find out they have an upcoming special occasion, we should offer to make a reservation for them.  It doesn’t hurt to remind them of any upcoming holidays or big events that they may want to make reservations for.

It never hurts to do a little self promotion here by letting them know how much you enjoyed waiting on them and if they would like, you would be happy to schedule a reservation for them the following week.

Everyone that passes a departing guest should thank them and invite them back. If a host or manager is at the door we should even go so far as to open the door for them and thank them again.

If a guest has had a problem we should also at this time apologize to the guest and ensure that they are happy and that we have done everything we could to keep them as a satisfied guest.

We can never thank a guest enough for coming in. Thank them when you drop the check off, thank them when you return with the change or credit card, thank them as they are leaving.

When we ask them how their dinner was we want to hear them say “AWESOME!”

Have an awesome day and make more money!
