Answer to Question 1

The role of the server's assistant or busser is critical in providing good service and in working to maintain a clean and sanitary restaurant. The best habit that the server's assistant or busser can develop is to clean as he or she works. The key is not to wait until later to clean and straighten but to consistently do it as part of the work.

The manager explains general housekeeping duties and assigns specific responsibilities to the server's assistant or busser for each meal period during the day. Bus attendants may keep service stands equipped and tidy, replenishing supplies and ice, rolls, coffee, and other items as needed so that servers can serve guests quickly. The server's assistant or busser works quietly, talking to others only when necessary and then in a low voice.

Answer to Question 2

When a food service operation is understaffed RevPASH will likely be reduced. Experienced restaurant managers know that a situation in which too few staff members are available to serve guests is extremely detrimental to high- quality guest service. While operating with reduced staff may lower payroll cost in the short run, the savings in labor will most often be far overshadowed by the financial losses that will be incurred when service quality and guest satisfaction levels are significantly reduced.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
