Golden Corral Waitress PLZ HELP?

Question

Im a new waitress at Golden Corral. Today will be my second day as one. Does anyone know how to setup the tables there i.e. (ketchup next to the salt shaker, etc.)

Additional Details

I was just wondering because my boss writes waitresses up for the smallest things (I hear). And table organization is one of them.

Answer 1

ZON... you gotta be honest and cheerful with your manager!!!  they only want to see that you are optomistic, and happy,  you need to say that you need training in a specific area,,,

ie; I want to make sure I set the tables perfect, where can I find that information,  your manager will be so happy your being proactive,,

if I can give you 1 piece of advice, be friendly and treat your tables genuinely,

good luck

Answer 2

I don't work there, but I do work at Applebees, where we are also required to set up the tables in a specific manner.  You should be able to ask your coworkers what the "spec" is for your restaurant.  It is part of the training all of our new servers go through.  

As far as your boss, the best thing you can do is stay on his/her good side...do your best, and if they give you a problem, explain that you were confused because you are new, and ask them to show you the correct way to set up the table so you will know better for next time.  As long as you say it without attitude, I'm sure they'd be happy you asked!

Good luck!
