All these alerts will appear on the Host-Linc, some will also appear on the Managers watch. You now have two tools to assist you in identifying holes in your service model. FOH ESP Systems Manager User Manual 8 Managers can immediately re-position the team to address the situation. Hosts will be relied on to assist in reacting to these alerts. ESP IVE BEEN SAT GUEST ESP DRINK READY/RUN FOOD READY/RUN 911 86 BUDDY BUSSING Associate ESPs DEFINITION Youve been sat!
RESPONSE Get to that table quickly and welcome them to the restaurant. Deliver the WOW Step. Your Guest Needs You! Quickly check in with the table by recognizing that they have ESPd you. ESPs you that your drinks are up. When the image is reversed (light on dark), your drinks have been run. ESPs you that your food is ready or has been run (if a reversed light on dark image shows). 911 will appear under the Drink or Food ESP when there are a lot of items at the bar or in the kitchen that need to be ran. This goes to ALL watches. 86 will appear under the drink or food ESP when the Bar or Kitchen is out of an item. This will be followed by an ESP that your neighboring section needs you to help with. ESPs the Busser and Host as soon as a Hub on a table is shot to Bussing. Run your drinks when they are ready. Return to table that has drinks and continue the next step of service. Run your food when it is ready. Quality Check the table when the food is run. Make yourself available to help run. Go to the Bar or Kitchen to find out which item is unavailable. You will either accept or reject the buddy by pushing the left or right bottom button on your watch. (See Watch Features) The Busser/Host should bus the tables in the order they come in to maintain smooth flow of the restaurant. Its critical that all associates respond appropriately to the ESPs they receive. Coach the associates in real time to change their traffic and behavior patterns to be more appropriate to the needs. ESP Systems Manager User Manual 9 ALERTS BAR ALERT BUSSING TIME ALERT HOST ALERT BUDDY ALERT GREET ALERT TBD MAXIMUM ALERT RAPID ALERT DINING TIME ALERT MANAGER WATCH ALERTS DEFINITION The manager is needed at the bar. RESPONSE Go to the bar to see what is needed. A table has been in bussing status for too long with out being bussed. Service Model is breaking down, you cannot seat tables. Identify what needs to change and coach the behavior. The manager is needed at the Host Stand. Go to Host Standto talk to a guest, help with seating, or answer question. Another manager needs help. Too much time has passed and the newly seated table has not yet been greeted because the ESP Key has not yet been inserted into the Hub. This is a key point in the meal for the guest as it establishes the tone of the rest of their experience. A table has triggered the Maximum ESP alert by the guests ESPing their server the maximum number of times during their meal. You establish the benchmark for Max in the Host-Linc A table has ESPd their server X number of times in X number of minutes. (during a certain time period) You establish this benchmark in the Host-Linc. A table has been seated for over the designated Dining Time trigger. This is established by company standards. Managers are connected through the buddy alert; send a buddy signal to your co-
manager when you need to talk to them. This alert is critical to have a manager view why the service model is breaking down. Observe the server to see if he/she can greet that table, if not take appropriate action to get the table greeted. This alert signals the manager that someone is using ESP often. This can be because they enjoy it, or it can mean that their server is being reactive. Asses the situations, if needed do a manager visit to determine table status. There are times when this can be an indicator of dissatisfaction. Asses the situation and respond accordingly. Manager table visits are essential tools that enable you to save any unhappy guests prior departing. This alert is a reminder to you to visit this table before they leave.
