2. Product Knowledge – Serving staff must have an in-depth knowledge of all menu items offered in the restaurant.
3. Teamwork – Communication with other staff members is integral to success. No one person should be responsible for all areas of service. A strong team exists to help each other.
4. SalesTechniques – While mastering all areas of hospitality, serving staff will be able to use suggestive selling, upselling, and cross-selling techniques.
