I want advice from you brother؟
Hello buddy 👋😊, I really wanna learn it
Plates, along with other serving dishes, are served on the left side of the guests. Plates are cleared from the table on the right side of the guests.
thank you for sharing your knowledge about restaurant services and more.
Very knowledgeable about banquet service done by waiters. Thank you for teaching us step by step.
Thanks Indrajeet, glad to be of help :)
I'm very happy found this channel... I always support you .. I have to be professional waiter too..
It is understandable and Knowledgeable about the basic things of doing a Banquet. Thank you for teaching us the step by step for doing a Banquet. It is my first time doing a Banquet Service
Good luck, MJT
When you walk away from the table, make sure your plates are on your left arm as you follow your Captain back to the kitchen. I saw the Captain carrying plates on his left but not everyone behind him did exactly the same. Uniformity is the key here.
Youarry the plates the way you feel most comfortable and safe.
Love it...
Joshua de los Santos, thanks a lot! i appreciate the support!
Hey guys, banquets are a big part of our job! It is the easiest thing to do if you don't count the long hours and moving of tables and chairs around! Any questions you have feel free to ask! LIVESTREAM is tomorrow at 18:00h Central European Time!
The Waiter's Academy Hello I just saw a position online for Banquet beverage attendant, could you make a video on that please?
Perla Heckner, there is not much to show for thus position. You need to know drinks and you have to be able to carry a loaded tray with drinks a long distance. It is a very good position to work on. Go for it.
All the places I worked, I almost never had to worry about placing the tables. But we did place all the linens down, which I really didn't mind. It wasn't bad at all. :)
Cool vid!
Thx
I really miss banquet serving... A LOT!
I use to be a banquet server for Marriot hotel in Lincolnshire, IL. and I so miss it! We had an amazing team who worked together really well and we supported each other to get the job done, even when we were all painstakingly tired and nobody felt good at the end of a very long night.
Your serving techniques are quite unique and different. When we served the guests, we started with the beverages like you do. But when the rooms were so huge and seemed so daunting, the banquet captains were so organized and we had to keep out eyes on them for them to signal when to depart the room to retrieve the trays of food in the banquet hall, or from the back room if we were in one of the big tents. We'd have our tray stations already pre-set up by our groups of tables, which were assigned to us by the banquet captain during the briefing before the party started. They would then go over the meal (similar to how you guys do). When we served the tables, one person would be responsible for serving the beverages, & meal, & clearing that table. And sometimes one person alone is responsible for 2 tables. But if there's 3 tables or more, we'd have 1 partner. So on to serving; we'd then serve the salad and we weren't as organized as you guys are, but we didn't continue on to the next table until the one we started serving was complete and we had to always communicate with our partners and keep an eye on the captain for when they signaled to go onto clear the tables, and then serve the next course of the meal till the whole meal was complete all way out to the desert.🍧 Since all the servers were so tight with the job, we often got standing ovations by the end of their meals. Some our guests from around the world and from all walks of life were really cool to acknowledged our hard and grueling work. It was very fun (and every party was different), but it was still very hard work at the same time.
I can't do this work anymore though. I'm physically disabled. Sorry for the lengthy comment.
It is a great comment, Dona! I am sorry to hear that you are not able to work this job any longer! I hope you are doing well! It is completely right, what you have done and this is how we did it in Las Vegas when we had to serve huge banquets ( sometimes up to 13 000 people for Comdex)
In this video, I show the mirror service and it is done mostly in small, fancy weddings or other special occasions! There are many more ways to work a banquet!
Thanks for your input and best of luck in the future!
@@TheWaitersAcademy Thank you! I might as well "spill the beans" (Hahahaha)..... I'm a cancer survivor. And complications from the chemotherapy crippled me. thank you for the heart. I really needed it!
@@dona4him942 oh, I am sorry to learn that! I just wrote to your other comment that you are lucky to be able to work in the USA as a waitress....
That is tough! To beat the cancer means you have great spirit and iron will! I wish you nothing but the best in the future! Stay strong and God bless!
@@dona4him942 Do you have to carry the whole table's main courses (10 or more people) at one trip?
Nice
thx
thanks
You are welcome Sookun!
I got my first shift tomorrow. This seems not hard to do and we have been trained by our agency before hand.
I love fine dining
🙂
I think you must.. Clean the table. Even the bread plate only left is the water goblet and dessert fork or dessert spoon.?
True, Dennies! Once the guests are done with the main course, we clean everything from the table including the salt and pepper shakers! We leave only the dessert silverware and the glasses that still have drinks on it! We have to also clean the crumbs from the table!
Please make video for buffet attendant job decriptions sir!
Komang, thank you for the request. I am trying to do videos about the things I know very well. I have never worked on buffet and to do a video about it will be ...strange! You should be able to find some info on it if you google it! Maybe I can ask someone to help me with the video and still do it but I cannot promise! Take care!
Thanks sir! Could i have your contact number please ? I want to learn more about waiter because i work as a waiter and one day i'm Going to work in Cruise ship. I want to be profesional waiter.
Loves your accent 😘
I just wondering how to interrupt the guest while they’re talking & I have to tell them we have a wine menu on the table. I’m not a native speaker so I'm a bit nervous that I look too mean if I say something wrong.
Very good question. Usually we don't interrupt guests while they are talking! If you need to tell something to the table, chose a guest who is not talking at this moment, or just approach the table and stand there for seconds in a position where the person that is talking in this moment can see you. If he keeps ignoring you, apply the first step.
And if all this not working and you have to absolutely interupt them, you start with:
-I am so sorry to interrupt you
-I appologize
...or something like this.
He he a lot of people this time :)
:)
+The Waiter's Academy Plz teach about Silver service
Check this video! Russian service is a silver service.
th-cam.com/video/9dAvXPE4cw4/w-d-xo.html
Each main course has a plate, a cover, and food. It weights about 3 lbs. A large oval tray holds 12 main courses. That would be 36 lbs. Kitchen to table distance is much further than most restaurants. How many waiters or waitress can carry 30+ lbs?
i cant imagine them being forced to carry so many courses at once. I'd imagine that generally 3 plates would be maximum for fine dining
I have seen many during those 30 years!
In fine dining - yes, but in banquets you have to carry sometime even much more than that! Trust me, everyone can learn how to do it.
@@Emma-dd1fc 3 plates max by hand. With a tray, 3 plates are like nothing.
@@TheWaitersAcademy When I was young, I can carry 30+ pounds by one hand off shoulder. Now, at 56, I can still do 25 lbs. Many young servers cannon even handle a tray properly nowadays.
Hi sir, plz I need to know what an on call banquet server means . Since it is on call that means you dont know how many hours u will work and if u will be able to rely only on the banquet job to make a living ? I have an offer of an on call position but they want me available as much as I can be . Also I have an other full time job . Iam just not getting what on call means.
Tnx for your answer in advance. We like ur videos.
It means exactly that. They will call you when they need you. It depends on how busy they are to know how many hours you will work. May not be enough but may also be a lot. Tricky situation
Wow very neat smart n attractive 👍
Wow, thanks, Beatrice :)
I thought if you serve anything always go to right side
Why is the Head Waiter serving with thumb on rim please?
If the thumbis on the rim, it is exactly where it should be. If it is not, then that's wrong but I can't fix it now...
Why are plates served on right side???
In Europe they do it from the right side with the right hand!
Not exactly like dinning service in cruise ships, but it's similar.
No, on Cruise there is no mirror service but in banquets we do it most of the time.
@@TheWaitersAcademy The setup on the table, the round table for the same number of guests like in your vídeo, and you also bring heavy trays with 10 plates to the station, the uniform of the crew is also the same...but it's only the waiter and the assistant server, no mirror.
Too sudden and quick moves it is obvious, no elegance. Movement of "exit" should be directed into one point and not seperate if it is possible which in this case is.
Good observations! Those people are all learning now the job! They do a lot of things wrong but the point here is to show how the system works.
you lost me with all the thumbs on the plates.
Yep, I understand!
Music SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!
disagree...….serving from left bussing from right is the universal rules in dining...and look at your waitress how she is carrying plates...thumbs should not be inside the plate...nice try man!
RebuKinaliel, you have the right to disagree. I guess you have worked all over the world in many different countries and continents and you know what are you talking about!
I noticed this also. Always serve open handed from the guests left and remove chinaware open handed from the right.
@@TheWaitersAcademy What country are you serving this dinner in? Because I must agree with the other comments that in the u.s. the standard is to serve guests on the left and remove guests plates on the right. I have only done this in the United States and can not speak for outside the states proper service ideals.
@@jsaucee1 Hi Jay, as I said in the video in USA is exactly what you explained but the rest of the world is serving from the right! Especially in Europe! So there is no confusion here!
@@TheWaitersAcademy That's Interesting! I'm from the USA as well.
