| How
can I get better service at my table? |
Be nice, if a long wait has gotten
you upset, remember it’s not your waiter’s fault. If you waited
a long time, chances are your waiter has been very busy and is tired.
Now that you are at the table, make a fresh start of it. You might
be surprised how a little friendliness will improve the service.
If you treat your waiter poorly, even the most professional waiter
will have trouble rebounding and providing you with a pleasant dining
experience. Remember, that’s why you waited in the first place.

| What
should I do if I feel my waiter is giving me poor service? |
- If you feel you are receiving poor service
from your waiter, don’t just suffer though it and leave a small
or nonexistent tip.
- If your waiter doesn’t properly respond
to your requests, ask to see a manager.
- Managers need to be aware of problems so
they can fix them. A manager’s involvement might be able to save
your dining experience, which is a far bigger expense than your
tip.
- If you don’t feel comfortable asking for
a manager at your table, then do so on the way out. They still
would like to know about your problems, although by waiting you
have limited their abilities to help with your experience.
- If you feel your waiter deserves no tip,
don’t leave one. However, when you speak with a manager, you might
leave a partial tip with them to pass on to your server or busboy.
If the others were helpful, you still want to reward their service.
This also makes it clear that you do tip for good service and
that your waiter disappointed you.

| What
should I do if I received excellent service from my waiter? |
- Tell the waiter that you appreciated their
excellent service so they will continue to take pride in their
work.
- Ask to see the manager. As with poor service,
you should let a manager know when you have received excellent
service. Managers need to recognize their strongest employees
to encourage great customer service, telling them about your experiences
will help them to do this.
- Tip accordingly, if you feel your waiter
has gone above and beyond your expectations and provided you with
a wonderful dining experience. Hopefully, you feel that they deserve
more than the standard 15% to 20% tip.
- If you plan on coming back, be sure to
get the waiter’s name. This way you can request them next time
and have another wonderful dining experience.

| How
large of a tip should I leave? |
- If you received good service, it is customary
to tip at least 15% to 20% of your bill before any discounts.
If your bill would have been $40.00, but your coupons brought
it down to $35.00 you should leave a tip based on the $40.00.
If your service was excellent, you should certainly consider leaving
a larger than standard tip.
- Some Restaurants will automatically include
a tip, usually 15% of the bill. This is especially true if you
have a large party. Although, more Restaurants are beginning to
automatically include tips to all bills as a standard policy.
You can check your bill for this amount to see if an additional
tip is warranted.
