Personal Rules
Never stop abruptly
In a restaurant, as on the road there is
right hand traffic. Always keep to the right
Always move forvard, not backward
Wasted motions mean more work and they are
a sign of inattentiveness. Always think about what you are doing and plan
ahead. Make every move count
Gum chewing and smoking during working
hours are forbidden
All utensils should be handled carefully
and silently
Carrying plates,
glassware, flatware and other utensils
During service the right and left hand have
distinct functions. The left hand carries while the right hand works
Flatware, glasses, cups and the like are
always carried on a tray, never in your hands
Serving bowls and sauce boats are always
placed on a small plate with a paper doily
Rules for service at the
guest table
Women are usually served first. If it’s an
honorary dinner of course the gust of honor is served first. Other wise age and
status of the guest determine the sequence with older and most distinguished
guest served first. The host is always served after his or her guests. When
children are present at the table, serve them as soon as possible to maintain
peace.

flow naturally. The following rules therefore should become the second nature
