This video covers when to move into taking orders—and when not to. It's the longest part of your interaction with the table, so you need to be ready to commit the time. If you're not, or they're not, don't force it. This walks through different scenarios and how to handle each.
Key points covered:
• The standard approach: "How are we doing on the menu?"
• Recognizing when a table is ready to order
• Why taking orders requires the most time in the service cycle
• What to do when you're not ready to stay at the table
