SERVICE SYSTEMS

What kind of service does your restaurant want?  What does it need?  Do they match? Does it match the pool of available staff?  Does it suit the brand?  Most of us can easily recall experiences with service in a restaurant, good and bad.  The way we're treated by those who earn a living by serving others, especially those that are TIPped (To Insure Promptness), registers in our minds and can be easily recalled. Most problems that happen in a restaurant are recorded in our minds as "service".  While many service issues are actually beyond a server's control (late drinks or food, overcooked steak, long wait for a table, etc.), most issues are the result of poor service structure and "through-put" set up.

Sequence of Service

We look closely at your brand and what you're trying to accomplish.  If you are trying to process 100 guests per hour with 50 seats and a slow kitchen, we'll re-structure your service model and menu for faster check times and a quicker turn.  If your guests are complaining that lunch service takes too long, we streamline your service steps.  If you want to sell more wine yet you have allowed your servers to dictate section size and support staff, we'll revamp your tipshare system and support team schedule to facilitate better quality time at the table.  Blue Orb's experience, from fine dining to fast casual and gourmet retail, is well qualified to customize a service model that suits your concept.

Tipshare Setup

Your restaurant can likely maximize its efficiencly simply by restructuring its incentive and tipshare system.  We customize tipshare systems to maximize productivity and minimize your payroll. 

Gentility and Grace

Through our culture and brand identity development process, we can deliver the Guest Experience.  We understand that the way you talk to your dishwasher translates to the way your servers talk to your guests.  We drive great service through driving internal and external guest service best practices.  Whether you serve dim sum or braised osso bucco, we begin with universal basics like eye contact, facial expressions, body language, and grooming. We believe "The Servant is the Master"...and we can teach your staff and management team to have a "Servant's Heart".

  • What is your favorite Chef’s Knife?
    by Ray Camillo on 7/23/2010
    Asking a chef to choose one knife is like asking a golfer to pick one club to use for driving, chipping and putting…or asking a carpenter to choose one tool that is best for cutting, measuring and drilling.
  • Lunch isn’t just for Lunch anymore…
    by Ray Camillo on 6/11/2010
    What is lunch? Whether working in a garage, on Wall St. or in an operating room, we need fuel when we’re away from the nest. Around, oh say 11:30, we want something fast, easy to eat, cheap, and most of all, tasty. Since I can remember, the usual hand-to-maw fare has been burgers, pizza, [...]

    Recently I was trying to figure out how to do a "banana creme brulee canoli"...it just sounds good...get some banana creme pie filling with fresh chunks of bananas and somehow candy the ends like a creme brulee without burning the canoli shell, then drizzle with honey.
  • Finding Napoleon

    If more servers could pull off the Napoleon Dynamite ‘tude and just stick to the facts, we’d all probably stop whining when we don’t get our butts kissed by a server or cashier.
