Dining Out With Groups



If you are going to go out for lunch with a large group in the middle of the week, keep these things in mind:
1) If this is a work group, please plan your time accordingly. This means…….. Do not show up all at different times. Come as a group. It helps the server AND YOU on time and organization. 
2) Usually, you have a certain amount of time to get in and out. That being the case…… When your server is speaking to you, PAY ATTENTION. Again, this helps with YOUR time constraints and the overall flow and organization for the server. 
3) If you are going to need separate checks for ANYONE at your table, AGAIN, please plan your time accordingly. It takes LOTS of time to separate, and then run numerous credit cards, or make change for many people. 
4) When a server asks you “Is there anything else you need or I can get you?" PLEASE for the love of Pete, take the 5 seconds to assess your situation and figure it out. When a server has to constantly run back and forth, it detracts from YOUR experience, and it affects others as well.
5) MOST IMPORTANTLY - PLEASE remember…… its ALL of you…… and ONE server. Though we have team members who can sometimes help us out. OFTEN, it is just your server, and ONLY your server who is helping you. And they likely have other tables that they are (or are TRYING) to take care of.
