Restaurant Questions! Dont you hate it...?!
Answers: when they fire your main dish when you're not even halfway done with your apps and your entire table is crowded with the apps and the bigg a** dinner plates...ARGH, i made it a habit to tell them to wait for the main dish until i tell'em so...not too late of course so the food wont be cold but give me a little freaken time to enjoy my apps!
They aren't trying to be prompt with your dinner... I disagree. They are trying to turn the table over. Trying to get you out. When I go out to eat I also want time to between courses. For them to bring one plate after the other as if you where in a mess hall is totally unprofessional and is far from one wants when one goes our for a good meal.
They are in a rush to get you in and out- more people in and out- more tips! So annoying! Usually I let them know ahead of time- nothing worse than lukewarm food! T
That is such a cardinal sin of the restaurant industry! In our restaurant, we have a wonderful little window in the kitchen where I can see the entire dining room, and I never, ever, ever send out a main until the app plates have been cleared from the table.
They want you to eat fast and get out for the next cutomer that is waiting. It's all about making more money and tips.
Actually, I rarely have that problem. Usually, they take a really long time bringing the dinner out! If they do bring the dinner out too soon, I don't complain about juggling all the plates around--I'm just thankful the dinner's there and I don't have to sit and wait for it forever!
I hate that too. Some restaurants are conscious of this and it never happens. Others are clueless.
At the "clueless" restaurants, I will typically order appetizers and drinks and order the entree 15 minutes later. Just tell the waiter/waitress that you know what you want as an appetizer but are still deciding on the entree.
i am in the service industry... and that is the fault of the server..... they obvioulsy dont know when to execute an entire order
I find that when you have a salad first, you never have time to finish it before the entree comes. That's my pet peeve!
yeah i hate that to.but the only reason they are so damn fast on getting the food out is the faster you eat the faster you leave.which for them means a empty table to serve more people so they get more business and the waitresses get more tips.
