Familiarize yourself with the table set-up in the dining area  will help

lessen your stress once the guest comes in different numbers.

Leaving the guest upon reaching their assigned table is a good practice of a

Receptionist since there is no available waiter.

Giving an option to guests to stay at the lounge first is better than saying Im’sorry

sir/madam we don’t have an available table you may look for another restaurant.

Bend a little bit your head and putting your hand at your breast is a proper

manner of a Receptionist as she/he welcome/greet guests.

How many are you? Is an appropriate approach when asking guests.

Allowing your guests to stay put first as you check their name at the reservation

logbook.

Assist the guests in sitting if the waiter/attendant is not available to attend.

Looking at the guests, smiling, greet them pleasantly is enough to

to feel that they are properly welcome in the restaurant.

Walking faster as you lead the guests to their table is efficient to assist

immediately the other guests came into the restaurant.

Recording the customer’s logbook the number of guests, table number,

the exact time of their arrival is one of the SOP or standard operating procedures in the restaurant.
