The Festive Season is nearly upon us and, no matter what has happened in the preceding twelve months, we can all let our hair down a little and enjoy some time getting the crackers out and settling in for a very Merry Christmas.

As it is the season of goodwill, we need to think about sharing that goodwill with others and spreading the joy that we, as children, used to feel.

We can do this in each restaurant/hotel by adopting some of these: –

Front of House ideas:

  • Putting up festive decorations throughout the restaurant and surrounding the clientele with the festive atmosphere.
  • Playing seasonal music in the background, at a low level.
  • Placing a Christmas cracker on every place setting, just to start the meal experience off on a festive note.
  • Get the front-of-house staff to wear a sprig of holly or Xmas hats.
  • Giving a Christmas card, with the bill, to say Happy Christmas and thank you for coming.
  • Putting a small discount token in with each bill as an invitation to your New Years evening(s) menus.
  • Personally, going and wishing every table a Happy Christmas.

Commercial Kitchen ideas:
These are designed to make your kitchen staff feel more comfortable during the heavy work-load that is the typical Festive Season.

  • Getting all stainless-steel surfaces bright, shiny and sparkling.
  • Making sure that the extraction system is working in top condition.
  • Checking that the odour reduction system (Airteck G64) is working properly and has been cleaned thoroughly, within the last 6 months.
  • Making sure that the air balancing system is working correctly, now that the doors and windows are closed.
