True or falseA server may take two different tables' orders back to back before returning to the kitchen to submit the orders for preparation. Meaning they turn MULTIPLE tables' tickets into the kitchen at the same time.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
Even though it can be more convenient to take multiple tables' orders before returning to the kitchen it is STRICTLY against our company policy. Unfortunately there are multiple different factors that can come into play in a negative fashion when a server decides to stack tickets. Servers who need to take more than one order or have a large order going into the kitchen must get a "cut off" to turn tickets into the kitchen for them. This will be discussed more in the hands on portion of your training.Rate this question:

Again, it is the servers responsibility to monitor the amount of time a ticket has been in the kitchen and alert the "expo"on duty if a ticket is close to exceeding that time limit.
Please take note a ticket turned in behind an appetizer will not go into its suggested time until the appetizer has hit the table. Further explanation of this will be given during the hands on portion of your training.Rate this question:
