Long Hairstyle For A Military Ball

How to be a good customer in the restaurant and hotel

This month, I have voluntarily decided to leave politics and do something good for the community. Indeed, having had the past experience in the field of catering and hospitality, I decided to teach you some rules for being a better customer and more importantly, ultimately, get a better service. They may say: "The customer is king", often the staff whispered "Long live the republic" to see how some act, but the duty of reserve employees require them to be quiet. In short, I invite you to learn from these friendly advice on your next visit to the restaurant.

Editor's Note: Every restaurant and every hotel is different, each board must of course adapt to the place. For example, it is clear there is no need to book McDonald. That's why I count on your common sense to discern.

Tips of No1 Roger

-From the moment you are more than 4 people, and no matter what time of day or night: BOOK! Arrive at 8 at the restaurant as if nothing had happened and demand that the service is run out of good manners and you put the manager in curses. The reason: we must move tables to satisfy the customer, and is often a challenge to do so without interfering with clients on site, plus the fact that it can disrupt the course of regular duties of cooks. Furthermore, having known, the manager would have to return more server / her. Without transition, another advantage of book is to be prioritized when the restaurant is full and there is a waiting time. Be a customer provide and reserve your place at the restaurant.

In the same vein, do not speculate on the fact that you came in groups of 10 for two days at the same time and they'll remember you even if you say anything the next day.

Another important point is: give as much as possible the number EXACT .

Finally: be punctual in your reservations. If you say you get to 19h, unable to 19:30. In addition, if you decide that you will leave for 21h to give way to another reservation, keep your word.

Council no2- Do not put yourself in the legs of server / busser or her.

Council no3 If you do not want water, you have the right to tell the person who you offer. It avoids waste.

Council no4-Although there is no sign "Let us honor the place you" , expect that a manager or (e) / server you are awarded a place. Do not come back like a ball and, seeing that they do not respond immediately because everyone is busy to sit directly on top of the market on a table busser that has not had time to recover.

Council no5 -Take the place that you awards. Do not switch up once the manager has his back turned. If you prefer, you can tell when the manager speaks to you. The reason is that often the server / her are the section and the manager must be equitable for all. If you take a seat in a wrong section, it will create an imbalance.

Council # 6-Unless your server / will be the case as well, or unless he / she has told you to your bill at checkout, DO NOT APPEAR AT THE CASE WITHOUT YOUR RECEIPT. Contrary to what you may believe, you do not look shiny and more, you make the world wait in the queue that they have their bills. In short, if you expect your bill, ask the server to your / themselves.

Council # 7-The bathrooms are kept clean. Please do not throw litter.

Council # 8-What is more infuriating for a teller to give $ 5 to do by being told "Scuse, can you make me change?" especially when there is a queue. If you want change, ask directly giving your money before the cash drawer is closed.

Council No.9- Tipping is 15% , which represents slightly more than the amount of taxes. Whether for students who work or waitresses "occupation", the usual tips, even if not received, are counted. Do not give a tip only if you received a great disservice.

Council # 10-The newspaper is not free and is there for everyone. Please do not do crosswords and Sodoku.

Council # 11-If you pay by credit card, there is a space to write your tip yourself. Needless to say the amount the manager.

Council # 12-If you withdrawal by paying with Interac, ask a round figure so
more. For example, if your invoice costs $ 56.78 and you say "74 in all," the manager must next determine if it is not suitable machine interaction. If you say "20 more", so it is accurate!

By the way, if you withdraw interaction, say BEFORE the cashier is the peak amount of the invoice on the machine.

Council no.13-Pay cash payment method is the fastest!

Council # 14-You may think ben comic pretending to give worse quickly resume your debit / credit and your money or "by paying cash? Ben chui not happy" or jokes like that, well, you're really not the first to do so to the cashier and eventually we get tired ... especially when there is a queue.

Council # 15-If you rented a room at the hotel of the same institution where you have a meal and want to put the bill on the room, do so only if it's worth, for example if you spend several days and you have multiple bills. If you breakfast just before leaving the hotel and it was this one bill and you want to pay all at the same time, do not put it on the chamber. Pay separately. The reason: the manager must fill out papers when you put a bill on the room and you make him lose time when there is a queue.

Somewhat in the same row as council # 11 paragraph 2, tell the cashier you want to put a bill on the room BEFORE he stud on the body.

Council # 16-When a hotel has a small sign "complete" or "no vacancy" on the door, or he lit neon "no vacancy" on the outside, it means that the hotel is full . Knowing this, by what miracle do you think you would find a place in a hotel full? Then why is picking you to enter a room request in a hotel is sold out? The best way to guard against this is to BOOK!

Secret pro: the busiest periods of the hotels are:
a) the construction holiday
b) the first 3 weeks of August (mainly weekends)
c) the Christmas holidays
d) Labor Day
e) around the Saint-Jean-Baptiste
f) there is a festival or major event (eg a conference) in a region

If you do not know a hotel in the region where you go, you can stop at a tourist kiosk and ask information. They will also call for you.

By the way, if you want a non-smoking room and they're gone, or another type of room that is no longer available, no need to rail against the auditor. If you do not book, it's first come, first served.

Council # 17-If, despite the previous advice you insist to go ask for a room in a hotel full do not blame the listener , there is nothing. You are the architect of your own misfortune.

Council Photo # 18-If you enter a hotel still full and you ask the listener to call for you to book another hotel, he can do. However, give a tip to the listener that just make you a great service. One, the bosses do not always help their employees to competitors in their own working time. Two, the listener just save you search time and stress when he was not obliged to do because you troubleshoot your problem.

Incidentally, do not raise the nose on the rooms that the auditor has found. When a hotel is full, chances are good that other hotels in town are too. That said, if you're too demanding, you sleep in your car.

Council No. 19- Do not smoke in a non-smoking room .

Council no20-Most hotels that accept pets. If you have one, check if you have the right to bring in your room.

Council # 21-A hotel room is there to sleep and not to party. If you make too much noise, the neighbors will complain at the reception. When the manager comes to your door, do not insult him: he did his job. Turn down the tone and volume of music. If there are other complaints, the manager will expel you and call the police if necessary.

Council No.22- When you fill out a form, asking you plate your vehicle, you can write the model and color instead. The reason we ask you, is if the headlights are on or your car is damaged or towed. It avoids Research Manager and disturb the sleeping guests.

So here, I hope you will remember these tips for your next release. Feel free to bring others if you feel like it. As a consumer, you are entitled to good service. But if you want good service, be a good customer!

Bon appetite and / or enjoy your stay!
