Training Topics
Attributes of a Waiter
The quality of service staff in any establishment reflects the quality of the establishment itself. No matter how good the food and ambience are, poorly trained, untidy or rude staffs can annoy customers. On the other hand, if the staff are well-trained and efficient, they can, to a certain extent, make up for other shortcomings in the services provided.
Good Conduct
You should be well-mannered and respectful to guests, and to senior members of the staff.
Good Memory/Concentration and skill
A good memory helps to improve performance. It also helps the service personnel to attend small but important details such as remembering a guest's name or his likes and dislikes regarding food and beverage.

Food Service
When a customer forms an opinion of any food establishment, service and food presentation stand-alone. No matter how beautiful the surroundings or how delicious the food; poor service will certainly ruin the entire dining experience.
