Beverage Pickup and Service in Restaurant /BAR

Make sure the beverage are made as ordered:
o    1 or 2 minute after having punched your order in the POS terminal, or delivered the written Captain Order copies to the kitchen and cashier, go to the bar counter.
o    Mixing, pouring, garnishing and serving drinks the same way every time is the mark of a quality operation.
o    Give priority to ladies’ orders.
Check each beverage for the following:
o    Is it the correct beverage?
o    Is the glass used to serve the beverage correct?
o    Is the garnish correct?
o    Have special instructions been followed.
o    Has anything spilled over the side?
Place drinks on the beverage tray:
o    Carry the drinks to the table concerned (always with a tray).
o    Line the tray with the linen napkin to improve the look of the tray and to avoid spills and moisture.
o    Keep extra Napkins on the tray.
o    Pick up the beverage item(s) from the bar counter.
o    Before leaving the counter, double-check the items with the Captain Order (or the printed order).
Carry the tray to the table:
o    Carry with the left hand horizontally under the tray center and if it is a large tray, use both hands.
o    Keep in mind the order in which you will serve the drinks so your tray will be balanced until the last drink is removed.
o    Balance the tray at shoulder level on your fingertips, not on your forearm. If the tray is carried on your forearm, there are chances that it may tip over.
o    Keep your back straight as you stand up.
o    If required steady the tray with your free hand.
Server Beverage to the guest:
o    Always Serve ladies first and host of the group last.
o    If the beverage napkins at your hotel are having a logo, then place the napkin in such a way that the logo faces the guest.
o    Avoid reaching across guests. Move around the table and serve every guest from him right side with your right hand when possible.
o    Handle stemmed glasses by the stem or base. Your hands will warm the drink if you touch the outside of the glass. Never put your fingers inside the glass.
o    Place the glass on the center of beverage napkin.
o    Follow the guest check or order pad to serve the correct drink to each guest. Do not ask who ordered which drink.
o    It is also a good practice to repeat the name of the drink and any special requests as you serve each drink to ensure that it is correct.
o    Be sure that all the beverage items for the table concerned have arrived.

o    Double-check all the drinks with the Captain Order (or the printed order) one by one.
