My Mother was in Service years ago, up untill her death in 98, she was requested for Silver Service as she could teach it & keep an eye on those trying to do it, as we know not many can do it properly, being left handed myseld makes it harder for me, nice video....

I'm sorta new to fine dining (2 yrs now), and we serve from the left, clear from the right. Never back hand the guest, as this guy did to both guests. Hmmm, but appreciate the vid none-the-less.

I recently read that at the end of the meal, to indicate that you're finished, arrange your silverware together at the four o'clock position. This is not correct if the waiter is taking the plate away from the right side, because the silverware will be in the way of him/her collecting the plate. Surely, the silverware should be arranged at the eight o'clock position to move it out of the way of the waiter. In fact, I am now advised that it is better to place your cutlery at the seven o'clock position.

Thanks... I'll be having my practical exam in a couple of weeks

Good to see his Mrs has come dressed up for a night on the town!!!

Not seen silver service for years!

serving left side of the guest then turning counter clockwise

nowadays, more servers are serving at da right side to avoid hitting the customer and its very effective u know..

Great,,, it was really easy to understand,,, #thebeverageclass

Hepl ! Why does the waiter have to serve in the left. In stead of the right ?

great vid

why does he serve from the left side??

Do you have to be right handed? my college tutors are forcing me to use my right hand when im left handed

WHY did he serve the initial plate from the right if the correct way is from the left? This is the rule that my staff follow...serve from the left and "clear" from the right, unless it is impossible to do so. For example, if doing it correctly would be rudely interrupting guest's private conversations. I agree with everything else in the video though.

Never show the back to the Guest even when you are on side station

so lovely and educative.

Can you show me the video of service etiquttes ..do you hace??

Too good.:)

Can someone tell me who is the host in the video? Thanks!

Well done

There was 2 reasons why my waiter got a $100 tip ...#1 He knew both I And the another person were in a deal meeting over late lunch He did not get between us. He understood my fork And knife on the plate with cloth on top the meal was done No need to ask Aside from finger in the air with a round circle to the drinks " another round " This person also went out of the way to explain why the meal was better..."whipped potatoes with cream Not milk And French butter" Find things for the customer to show You are there for them They can make you And break you

Any body knows how many service plz tell me

Benny was here ;)

super i come here

This feels out dated in comparison to what I am being taught in my diploma of hospitality course. We are told to serve and clear from the right. Being mostly right handed it allows us to hold items behind the guest and not have them in the guests face. As well as most of the time we serve at round tables, that set 10 (barely) there is not enough room to serve from the left like this. Even in industry we are always serving and clearing from the right. To me this seems unnecessary, it allows time for the food to cool quicker outside the kitchen and in a busy restaurant it would slow the service down. Personal opinion.

The host should be seated near the sideboard

I don’t understand why they serve the vegetables with a spoon and fork. Why not use tongs?

OMG i saw a wrong in my school i learn to service guest

The server should use open handed service. He should stand between the guests, serve the lady with his left hand, and serve the gentleman with his right hand.

By the time he has finished serving the meal would be cold.

good service

Everything is good but the main thing is taste

Silver serving from the left is slightly daft and is now pretty much obselete. Serving from the right, 'hugging' the guests is now more widely adopted. Nice video however :)
