July 13, 2007, Newsletter Issue #85: Take The Cocktail Order
Tip of the Week
It all starts with my becoming familiar with all the table numbers. First, I remember and use the given table numbers. Second, I number the seats at each of my tables. Standing with my back to the door - the one which leads toward the kitchen - I assign the number 1 to the first chair at my left and clockwise I number all the other chairs around the same table. At a table of ten, the chair to my left is number 1, the chair to my right is number 10.
Thatīs how I mark it on my notepad.
As I get my guestsī drink orders from the bar, I place the ordered drinks in the seat numbersī numerical sequence onto my cocktail tray.
At the table I donīt have to look at my notes but put drink one in front of the guest position 1, drink two in front of the 2nd guest and drink three in front of the person the 3rd position, just like clockwork.
