Self-service salad bars with soup tureens, hot bread or rolls and all the garnishes and dressings are becoming common and even boring. Somebody ought to try a self-serve bar for mak- ing your own ice cream sun- daes, cooking your own stir-fried meal or making your own fruit or vegetable drink in a blender, many of them served with dinner are soggy, unappetizing and with little else but a few shreds of lettuce and a bland, unimaginative dres- sing. And what's worse, some restaurants slap a few shreds of meat and cheese on top, make it just a little larger, call it Maurice salad and charge $5 for it. Other turnoffs are warm tomato juice, cold coffee, cream in little sealed cardboard containers in- stead of pitchers, packets of sugar instead of a bowl and scanty pads of butter for a basket of rolls or breadsticks and baked potatoes. In many restaurants, you don't even get the rolls or breadsticks unless you ask. How many times have you had to virtually rip a menu apart to discover all the offerings because clip- ons obscured important parts of the menu? Many restaurant owners and managers don't seem to realize the importance of the quality of their em- ployees. Customers are served by waiters or wait- resses, eat food prepared by the chef and eat off plates washed by the dishwasher. A restaurant's reputation depends on the quality and appearance of the meal and the cleanliness of the dishes and silverware. A surprising number of restaurants have failed, according to Siegel, be- cause of high employee turnover. The waiter who snarls at customers and then mixes up orders is the owner's representa- tive to the dining public. The person they hire are extensions of themselves. Miller maintains it should be a firm require- ment that every member of the dining room staff give customers a friendly greet- ing when they come. in. If the host or hostess is busy, a waiter, waitress or even a busboy should do the greeting because there's something special about being acknowledged lin :, mediately. Nothing is more frustrat- ing to customers standing around a "Please wait for the hostess to seat you" sign then being ignored by every waiter or waitress who passes by, Siegel agrees. "The customer is al- ways right" still rings true. Even the picky complainer who claims the , French fries are soggy, the lettuce under the coleslaw is wilted or the glass looks spotty should be satisfied: If a waiter or waitress loses their cool and refuses re- quests in a hostile tone, patrons across the room may think they're pick- ing on the complainer. Managers and owners aren't dictators. They need employees to run their business. It makes sense to treat them well so they'll do their best for the customer. Good waiters and wait- resses often tell customers their names for a special, friendly touch. They take orders as soon as possible after giving diners time to study the menu. Relishes and water should be deliv- ered early. Orders for cocktails are taken. Then at the right moment, according to the diner's wishes and the res- taurant's custom, food and dinner wine orders are taken. Some waiters and waitresses have a sixth sense about proper timing and don't keep nagging cus- tomers to order dinner when they're relaxing and con- (Continued on Page 32) - '' Gold and silver are purified through fire; if you feel no sense of improve- Friday, March 12, 1982 31 ment after praying, either you are made of base metal, or your prayer lacked heat.
