poor restaurant etiquette?

Question

Is this poor restaurant etiquette if they give you your bill as soon as your food arrives or not long after your food arrives and they never come back to you after you get your bill/food?

There is one restaurant in town that does that and alot of people I know doesn't like that restaurant

Answer 1

i think its ok to leave the bill quickly in a place like coney island during a lunch shift but they should still check on you after the bill is dropped. Many small "quick" places around me do that during lunch bec it the time constraint peopel are under on their breaks. It should go like this:
Bring your food, check back in a min or two to make sure everything tasted good and they dont need any other sides or anything. Then a few minutes after that (its ok if ur still eating) ask if there will be anything else that you might need. If you say no then drop the bill while saying if you change your mind I can still add a dersert or anything. BUT they still need to check on you after the bill is dropped for drink refills, carry out boxes etc. AS long as they go about it the right way many peopel appreciate service that fast during the normal lunch time 12-1:30.

Answer 2

As a server you are supposed to give the guest their bill when they look like they are finished and ready to go. Though not before you ask if they need anything else during their visit. I have been waiting tables long enough to know how to read a guest and keep the check on hand if needed and drop it off when the guest is ready. The restaurant I work at we are encouraged to drop off the check early during the lunch rush hour in the work week not any other time. Sometimes people have short lunch hrs and need to get back to work.

Answer 3

That is bad service plain and simple. I do realize that servers want to turn tables, but I only eat about half my food so it doesn't look like I'm done. I still want one last refill on my iced tea and a to-go box before I pay. You are correct that's it's poor etiquette.

Answer 4

Absolutely. Your server should come to your table a few minutes after your food has arrived to make sure everything was prepared correctly. Then they should return when you are almost finished to offer coffee and dessert. If you decline, then they should bring your bill. If you accept, you should receive the bill as your dessert dishes are being taken away.

Answer 5

This is considered poor customer service. The bill should be laid on the table after the server has come back to the table after you have received your food and drink refills (if needed) and to ask if you need anything else. If nothing else is needed then the server should lay your bill on the table.

Answer 6

For lunch service we present the check with the meal. Most people are in more of a hurry after lunch and that can speed up the check out.
For dinner service we are required to do 3 check backs before presenting the bill.
Just depends on where you go.
If you don't like it don't shop there.

Answer 7

i wouldn't like that. I work at a restaurant and we go back to the table at least twice after food is brought out and we don't give out the check until they are all finished eating.

Answer 8

The problem seems to be with the server and not the restaurant. Tell the manager the problem and if it continues go somewhere else.

Answer 9

the only time i've got ever seen this finished is at decrease priced chain eating places like IHOP and Denny’s, the place you do no longer pay the waitress/waiter, yet somewhat stand in line on the cashier to pay your invoice. human beings eating at such places are commonly in a hurry to 'eat and run.' subsequently, out of attention for the customer, the wait paintings rigidity is experienced to drop off the invoice with the meal, with the intention to no longer shop the customer *waiting* for it while they're complete their meal. the belief is to furnish their consumers the liberty to pay their invoice at their very own convenience. it relatively is a shame that a number of their consumers then interpret this gesture of attention as being "rushed." consumers are honestly allowed to take their time in the event that they so choose. yet maximum persons eating at such places are actually not finding to linger over grimy plates and crumpled up napkins. they produce different issues to do and places to pass – it relatively is why the charges are left on the table the way they're, so as that consumers can leave at their convenience, with no need to search out the waitstaff for the verify, and then wait in line to pay the cashier.

Answer 10
