The ritual of serving food well is our blog focus, its center, and its purpose. Dining is a meaningful part of loving life. It awakens our senses in making eating, drinking and the art of serving, more of a captivating ceremony that heightens our pleasures.

We inspire positive aspects of serving food and beverages, by promoting and fostering an "Atticus Finch" code of work ethics. Meaning, work right! Our blog is meant to "stir things up" and get the creative juices flowing. We provide “Shop Talk” for Food & Beverage, Catering & Banquets, Restaurants, Hospitality, Cafe's, and Deli's and Fast Fooderies.

Our audience are those who make their living by serving (dishing or pouring it out). Far more important to us is how paying customers want to be served their food. We listen.

For those needing fast cash in a bad economy our information can assist greatly in earning better gratuities for wait staff, college students, desperate housewives and even rotten politicians, voted out of office.

As our nations economy grips tighter, the forecast is expected to remain below par in many sectors. By learning the art of serving well, fooderies can provide legendary service. Customer satisfaction is what drives business through the door, and remains the highest priority to survival.

“Even if you serve still water, serve it well.”

Food servers appellations for greeting guest properly

December 10, 2009

How Should a Server Refer to a Lady?

Instead of "lady", what appellations do you think would be appropriate for a food server to refer to a female guest?

Bruce Buschel, an aspiring restaurateur wrote an excellent blog, earning him a whopping 1,158 comments. The blog was entitled; “100 things food servers should never do”. http://boss.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/10/29/one-hundred-things-restaurant-staffers-should-never-do-part-one/

One of those “100 things” mentioned was, “Do not call a woman “lady”.

The politically correct terms are; “Madame, Ma’am, Miss, Mademoiselle or Mam-zel.

So, what say YOU? What would you call a woman?
