On-Site Evaluations

On-site evaluations include: Food Costing and Improving Customer Service  Two significant factors that can make or break a food-oriented business.
"Food Costing and Price Point Management - Identifying areas that need adjustments:  Perishables, ordering dry goods, wine, liquor and food staples - evaluating the kitchen and all inventory items - what is the cost, the waste, develop a plan to more cost effectively supply what the business needs to run smoothly and fulfill the customers' needs.
"Improving Customer Service - By identifying "timetables" of customers, hours of business, days of week, # of wait staff, kitchen set-up - developing a veritable "flow chart" for the food service venue being evaluated the service will be improved - satisfied customers, happy employees - GOOD BUSINESS.

Training Wait Staff for White Tablecloth/Fine Dining

"Demonstrations cover an array of pointers that make the difference between just waiting on customers to "Premium Service" that will enhance the restaurant's business and the waiter's tips! From chair placement, place setting, hand positioning, check handling, serving plates, pouring water to Wine Service presentation - "secrets" are shared that only someone with years of experience would be able to do.

On -Site Training and Training Materials

"The training includes Practical Hands-on sessions and question and answer periods.  We have developed training "Cliff Notes" - easy to understand - a quick glance for a refresher, including - the Three T's of Waiting on Tables.  The training covers all aspects of food service; these include: dealing with problem customers, special orders, addressing customers and last, but not least, taking orders and getting the right meal to the right person - not always an easy task! "Materials explain the role and importance of the waiter - the relationship between the chef, the waiter, and the customer. The delicate balance!
