June 16, 2006, Newsletter Issue #32: Placing Guest Check
Tip of the Week
The right time to present the check to your guest has never been an easy one. At breakfast you may want to put the check down right after you serve the food.
In a busy lunch place for people who have to go back to work the check should go down just after the food is served too. However if you have people who eat leisurely are obviously in no hurry, donīt give them the check too fast, they may want to stick around for dessert and cordials.
With dinner itīs even more important to know when and when not. Your tip may depend on it. If you have to turn tables for the house you may want to put the check down as a sign of pay-up and leave whenever the guest finishes with dessert.
Yet maybe your guest plans on a round of Cognacs for after dinner.
How would you know?
Talk to the host. Ask "Is there any thing else I may bring you?"
And "Please let me know when you are ready for your check!"
