TREND TO TABLE 🍽️

Grandma’s recipe deserves a better story than, “It’s good.”

If a dish has history, personality, or meaning behind it, tell people.

Guests connect with stories. And sometimes the story behind the plate is what makes it memorable.

Your menu should sound as good as the food tastes.

ANGELA ANSWERS 🌶️

Sweet guests. Spicy situations.

A table is unhappy. Something went wrong. Now what?

How a server handles the next few minutes can completely change how that guest remembers the experience.

So what should you say?
What should you avoid?
And how do you actually recover the table without making things worse?

Angela breaks it down in this week’s Angela Answers.

Watch the video and tell us: What’s the toughest table situation you’ve had to recover?

Seven minutes before service can change the entire shift. ⏱️

A strong pre-shift huddle isn’t another meeting everyone tunes out. It’s a focused opportunity to:

• Clarify expectations
• Flag tonight’s priorities
• Reinforce one service standard
• Get the team mentally ready for guests

The problem? Too many huddles run long, cover too much, or become background noise.

Angela teaches restaurant leaders how to make those seven minutes focused, useful, and worth their team’s attention, and it’s one of the practical topics covered in her workshops.
