If your diners have to wait too long for their first round of
drinks, appetizer or meal, it really wont matter to them that
your bartender makes the best martini or the chef prepared the
best steak. Your diner is already irritated and hungry.
You can call this the negative turning point. Remember that it
can be hard to win back your disappointed customer. Avoid
disappointing them at all costs. Make sure you have enough staff
on hand so they never have to wait too long. If your diner orders
a meal that takes a bit longer to cook, let them know in advance.
Be forthcoming and informative.
Youve probably heard the term speed of service. You might even
have a speed of service goal built into your policies. Speed of
service is vital to a good dining experience no matter your
restaurant type. Your diners probably have expectations about how
long theyll have to wait. Serving tacos? Theyll expect those
quickly. Serving steak? They may mentally grant you extra time to
prepare it.
Maintain eye contact and watch your body language. Make sure
your body isnt telling a different story than your words.
Apologize again!
When you give them the opportunity to leave a comment, you show
them that you care and are always looking for ways to improve
your food and your service. Your customers comments can help you
learn about areas that need improvement. The comments can also
show you where you are excelling. Youll see what your customers
see and in the end be able to provide them even better service.
