@wetheservers: Servers: clearing a table should look effortless👇 The goal isn’t to just remove dishes, it’s to do it smoothly, quietly, and with as little disruption to the guest experience as possible. ✅ Stack dishes in your arms, never on the table. ✅ Place silverware/smaller dishes on the plate you pick up first in order to keep stacking more on your arm. ✅ Use open-handed service by approaching with the arm farthest from the guest. These examples show three common clearing situations, from uniform plates to mixed dishware and smaller items. While empty dishes make the demonstration easier, a skilled server should be able to clear efficiently and elegantly even when handling leftover food. Like most things in hospitality, it comes down to practice 🍽️ My name is Ellie, I make lots of content about serving! Thank you and follow for more 👍 #finedining #waitress #waiter #restaurantlife #serverlife

A round table with a straight banquette is strange to me.

Is stacking not discouraged in a fine dining environment?

i might drop the cups and the bowl when I do the stacking in the 2nd and 3rd. How can you balance it like it's nothing! 😅
I always feel like my left hand/arm is not that stable.
