@the_30_rule: Your restaurant guests shouldn’t need to chase you to their table. “Right this way” is the start of an interaction. Pay attention to what happens after you say it. Are you walking at their pace? Checking that they’re with you? Having a brief conversation? Or are you already at the table while they’re trying to keep up? Host training should cover that entire walk. Match the guest’s pace. Look back. Stay engaged. Place the menus with care and make sure everyone feels settled before you leave. Those small details become even more noticeable during a busy shift. The room can be full of energy while your team stays calm, attentive, and composed. Guests should feel guided through the restaurant, even when there’s a lot happening around them. That poise takes practice. Make it part of your restaurant staff training. Rehearse seating guests, coach the pace, and show your team how to carry that same composure into serving tables and checking on guests. Hospitality training includes helping people feel comfortable from the moment they arrive. Walk the route from your host stand to a table today. What would that experience feel like for someone following you? #HostTraining #RestaurantStaffTraining #HospitalityTraining #GuestExperience #RestaurantService
