...educates entry-level servers; those already in the business...a useful guide to skills and attitudes of professional service. -- The Server Foodservice News, November 2001

...not a bad investment for any restaurant looking to inject a bit of old-fashioned service sense into its staff. -- Denver Westword, January 3, 2002

Product Description
EATiQuette's The Main Course on Table Service turns the tables on the "sell, sell, sell" approach to waitstaff training and puts the focus back where it belongs -- on personalized, professional service.

Sometimes "been there, done that" is a good thing -- especially when it comes to teaching table service. David Rothschild uses his own experienced during his decades in the business to help beginning servers learn the proper techniques while getting a taste of what it's like to be a part of the restaurant industry. His entertaining anecdotes also give experienced servers tips and hints on becoming more efficient and polished in their craft.

If you're considering restaurant service as a career, a temporary job or as a way to supplement your income (in the right place, you may make more per shift than what you're currently earning!) -- or if you're already waiting tables and want to freshen and broaden your skills -- this book is sure to become as indispensable a tool as your favorite order-taking pen or five-turn corkscrew.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great reading for waiters and customers., December 10, 2002

By	Barry R. Furman (Levittown, NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book enlightened me to the world of waiting tables. It's a must for anyone in the restaurant business who waits on customers. Both waiters and customers as well will learn the insides of the restuarant serving business, with guidelines for service and tipping. Easy to read, this book is hard to put down. I recommend it heartily.
