Before starting the service, the briefing

The briefing is essential to start the service correctly.

The briefing is the pre-service meeting where all the information relevant to that day’s service is shared.

All sectors must participate:
Kitchen, lounge, bar and reception, in order to inform us how the service will be: what I have to recommend, what are the options for the different food restrictions, what would be the missing of the day, how many reservations there are (your location and arrival time), if there are birthdays or events, or any other relevant information at the service of the day. 

Not all gastronomic places practice this modality, although it is extremely important to have good service. If the place where I am working does not apply it, I must get that information on my own, to facilitate the service I provide as a waiter.
