It\u2019s always disappointing to check the tip line and discover you didn\u2019t earn as much as you hoped \u2013 which is why it&#8217;s great to know ways to get an extra tip from your table. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Whether you were hired through <a href=\"https:\/\/lgcassociates.com\/es\/\">hospitality employment agencies<\/a>, a referral or simply walked in the restaurant for an application, this job helps you pay the bills. While expected, a tip is never a given and is always at the discretion of the customer, but there\u2019s a few ways to get an extra tip from your table and increase your chances of a higher payday.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Six Ways to Get an Extra Tip From Your Table<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><strong>Know your stuff<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The last thing you want is for one of your customers to have an allergic reaction or to absolutely hate their food because of a certain item found in the dish. Take advantage of every opportunity to learn about the food preparation process \u2014 i.e., memorize the menu, watch the chefs make the dishes, carefully examine the food before bringing it to the table \u2014 because customers feel like they\u2019re in good hands when their server is knowledgeable.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Perfect the upsell <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re no stranger to the upsell, but if you\u2019re just focusing on one dish, you\u2019re missing out. Maximize the guest check by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shopify.com\/blog\/what-is-upselling#:~:text=Upselling%20is%20a%20sales%20technique,they%20are%20already%20interested%20in.\">upselling<\/a> the entire experience. For example, instead of seeing if guests want to start with an appetizer, ask them which one they\u2019ve decided on, then mention your favorite. Customers tend to follow the lead of the server, so this will encourage them to order up. This is one of the best ways to get an extra tip<\/p>\n<p><strong>Check back often<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>People come to a restaurant to be taken care of. If you\u2019re largely absent the entire meal, you\u2019re not able to provide the level of service they deserve. You need to be there to refill drinks, bring extra ketchup and rectify any issues with customers\u2019 orders. When you don\u2019t take care of your guests, they don\u2019t take care of you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Build a bond<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When guests leave your restaurant feeling like they\u2019ve made a new friend, they tip accordingly. By now you\u2019re able to read your tables to gauge the level of interaction they desire, so when you get a friendly table, let your personality shine. Make a connection by asking how their day is going, engaging them with a short story and listening when they talk.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Maintain a positive attitude<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A rude server with a poor disposition can easily ruin a meal, so even if you\u2019re having a bad day, you can\u2019t let it show. Do your best to make the guest experience a great one by smiling a lot, displaying patience, and presenting yourself approachable. We promise that this is a great ways to get an extra tip.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Be a team player<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Helping your colleagues out might not sound relevant to your own tip, but it is. When you run food or refill drinks for another server\u2019s table, they appreciate the extra hand. The next time you\u2019re busy or want to take a quick break, they\u2019ll fill in for you, allowing your customers to enjoy uninterrupted amazing service.<\/p>\n<p>We hope that you use some of these ways to get an extra tip from your table.
