Placing Guest Check
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, don't give them the check too fast, they may want to stick around for dessert and cordials.
With dinner it's 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!"
