It’s never been more important for restaurant operators at every level to ensure their staff deliver quality service at all times – particularly when diners are increasingly demanding value for money when eating out.
At Restaurant magazine’s Chef Congress, held at Hakkasan in Mayfair in partnership with Nestle CHEF, legendary chef patron Raymond Blanc spoke passionately about the “never say no” service culture he had developed at his two Michelin-starred Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons.
As keynote speaker Blanc opened the floor to debate over what constitutes good service, and whether the theatre of dining has begun to overshadow the importance of food.
BigHospitality spoke to some of the biggest names on the UK dining scene to find out what their own service secrets are.
Every Monday throughout March, BigHospitality will be taking a closer look at whether British service standards need improving, why constitutes good service, and how the industry can help attract more young talent into front of house careers.
