PERSONAL APPEARANCE
Your image is our image.
You make a distinct impression on
our guests. The image you make
can enhance or detract from the
way the guests perceive the
restaurant. You are entrusted with
handling the guest’s needs and
must maintain cleanliness and
wholesomeness at all times.
5. T h e Gu e s t
Never underestimate the importance of the
guest!!! Young, old, new, regular, every guest
should be treated with respect.
➢ A guest is not dependent upon us…we
are dependent upon the guest.
➢ The guest is never interrupting our work
➢ The guest does us a favor by coming in.
We are not doing them a favor by serving
them
➢ The guest is the key component to our
business.
➢ Guests have feelings! Be kind and
thoughtful. Make their day with a simple
compliment, it can make a big difference.
6. B a s i c R u l e s o f S e r v i c e
The Butcher’s Daughter has a soul and you must
express it through your service.
The last guest must be treated the same as the
first guest. Every guest is as important as the next.
In the end, we owe our existence to the
customers. No matter how beautiful the
establishment, or how good the food, without
good service we have no continued business.
When developing good service, always remember:
Promptness
Courtesy
Good Manners
Enthusiasm
Team Work
If they are happy….they will return, tip you well
AND, recommend our services to their friends!
