Answer to Question 1

1) A smile and a nod of the head.

2) A small wave of the hand.

3) Eye contact, including raising the eyebrows while still serving another table.

4) By introducing him or herself.

5) Recognizing and remembering the names of returned guests.

Answer to Question 2

Unless an effective layout is used and/or additional production personnel are scheduled, there can be a slow-down in la carte service when those meals must be plated for banquet guests. Banquet menus must carefully consider equipment needs for both la carte and banquet production because there will be cases when food items for both services will need to be produced at the same time. Careful planning of banquet events will be a must to best assure that food service does not affect la carte service.
