How to Serve Modified Gold Plate for our brunch- “Summer

Our Vision

Each course will give them an authentic feel the country designated to the course.

Each server will have 2 plates, one in each hand, and will be serving the individual at their 1st assigned seat at their 1st table.

The server will then step behind the guest directly to their left which will be their 2nd assigned seat.

When the head server sees that each of their servers and ready to serve, they will nod their head informing each server to place down their dish or to go ahead and remove the dish

When serving remember “lower left” “raise right”. This lets you know what hand you should be using when placing down the meal for each guest and when removing their plate after they have finished. You should be putting the meal down with your left hand for the individual to eat, and clearing the dish with your right hand when they are finished.

Please remember to clear dirty utensils after each course

Servers will then go to their second table and repeat all of the previously stated steps

If a guest thanks you, always reply with “You’re welcome” or “My Pleasure” NEVER “No problem”

For each course all serving teams will line up in the satellite kitchen until the Managers give them the signal to enter the dining room and begin serving

Try and return to the satellite kitchen as quickly as possible and get ready to serve or clear the next course
