Guest service: listen, confirm, follow through

Good service starts with understanding a request and ends with checking the result. Practise a short conversation with a guest who prefers a quiet table.

  1. Welcome the guest clearly and ask a brief question about their preference. Listen until they finish without assuming what they want.
  2. Restate the request to confirm your understanding, then check available options. Explain what you can offer without making an unverified promise.
  3. After seating, briefly check whether the location suits them. If a change is needed, explain the next step and involve the responsible colleague when necessary.

Check your understanding

A guest asks for a quiet table, but you do not know what is available. What should you say?
