It is crucial to a restaurant's success that the staff are trained in server training. This will help them build relationships with their guests and make their customers feel at home. Although it takes effort and commitment to put together a successful server training program, it is worth it.
It is important to prepare a training plan for your employees before you start any employee training. This will outline the steps, milestones, and timeline. This will ensure that your employees learn what they need and get the most from their experience at your restaurant.
Cross Train with Other Key Positions- Your first step in your restaurant server training program is to have your new employees work alongside other key employees like hosts and hostesses. You will get invaluable information from your employees about the restaurant's layout, how to rotate tables and other important details so that everyone receives exceptional service.
Hosts and hostesses will also be able to tell your servers where to find everything they need, from napkins to plates and glasses. This will save your servers a lot of time in the beginning and help them quickly gain the trust of guests.
Take Orders & Deliver Food - Once you've taught your servers the basics of how the dining room works, it's time for them to learn how to take orders. Your point of sale (POS), which can be used to count guest checks, ensure correct items are being served and each dish is prepared to order, may also be useful.
You should spend some time delivering food at guests' tables, in addition to learning about the POS system. This will enable them to collaborate with your chef, gain a better knowledge of the menu, and allow them time to learn.
Health and Safety - A server's primary responsibility is to ensure the safety of their customers. This can include identifying and preventing certain illnesses such as food poisoning or allergic reactions to certain ingredients. This can be a daunting task for servers so it's important to train them in how to react appropriately.
Food Preparation - The best servers are familiar with the recipes and ingredients for their dishes, as this will allow them to quickly answer questions from customers. It can also help them identify the appropriate dishes for specific diets, as many people have special dietary restrictions.
Company History/Concept Statement: Your servers need to be able explain to your guests who you are and what your business stands behind. They should be able to ask customers about their dining experience, and what they liked about it.
Basic Restaurant Service Training. This is a basic course that should be included in any server training program. Your servers will be able to provide more personal service and create a pleasant environment in your restaurant by learning how to read your customers' attitudes.
