Customer Service
As a restaurant owner, great customer service is essential to your success.
How do you deliver excellent customer service at your restaurant? First, let’s
define it: customer service is the assistance and advice you provide to your
diners.
Your goal is to accommodate your diners with exactly the same quality food
and service every day and at every time of day.
It is vitally important that you deal with problems immediately. Don’t let
your customer’s anger linger while waiting to work his way up the
management chain.
No matter the reason for the complaint, send your customer home knowing
that, yes, there was a problem, but it is not typical of your establishment. Let
her know that you, the owner, value her comments and her business.
How you handle customer complaints will determine if the customer comes
back to your restaurant.
The way you stand and look at a customer can speak more than words. Don’t
cross your arms over your chest if you're feeling defensive. Avoid the urge to
roll your eyes if you're feeling exasperated. Nod and smile no matter how
irritated you might feel. This shows that you value her opinion and her
business.
Remember that customer who was so upset over the long waiting line? Offer
an apology: “I understand that you're not happy about the wait, sir, but we're
working as fast as we can to get you a table. We really appreciate your patience
and willingness to wait. Perhaps you'd like to have a drink at the bar until
your table is ready? We'll call you as soon as your table is ready.”
