[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have never had any issue with chatty waiters because of the way my DH orders.   My DH is great in ordering food. In our favorite restaurants, he will order everything at the same time - appetizers, drinks, entrees, coffee and desserts, telling the waiter when he wants the different courses brought to the table. He will say something once entrees are brought to the table "Thank you, this looks really great. We are all set here and will appreciate if you can bring the check along with the desserts and coffee. If we need something else we will flag you."

They know us there. There is no small talk but the waiters are very attentive. [/quote]

That seems kind of bossy.[/quote]

No thats awesome and I wish more people were like this. This is how I order and Im the PP with 10 years of serving experience. The way most ordering systems are set up you can input by courses so you can put the whole order in, the kitchen has the whole order (really well run kitchens may even prep 2nd/3rd courses), and you just hit a button to have the next course made in the system. It makes timing easier, it also reduces the chance that you run out off food (especially specials or limited items). That is very similar to a prix fixe menu. The only drawback is if the server forgets to bump the next course but a server can forget to put in your order as well.

It benefits the customer, the waiters and the establishment. Efficiency all around. [/quote]
