Foodservice Operator's Training Achievement Program

Earn More with Service

Great Service Sells! Check averages increase when patrons enjoy the total dining experience. Service is the number one reason customers recommend a restaurant.

Earn More with Service, is another of the TAP Series Enhanced e-learning programs providing a media rich educational experience even on slow speed dial-up Internet connections.

To manage or be a successful member of a waitstaff team requires understanding the rules of quality service. This program teaches how to better "Interact" with foodservice staff and customers. Students learn by observing, experiencing and interacting with methods to provide great customer service. They further learn, that while most everyone dining at an establishment orders a main course; items ordered before and after enhance the overall dining experience.

Sales of appetizers, premium drinks, and desserts can increase check amounts by 25% to 50%.
Great service alone can increase a tip by 20% to 30%. These two factors can mean thousands of dollars per year to servers, and add tens of thousands more dollars annually to gross sale
