10 Things You Should Never Say to a Restaurant Guest (And What to Say Instead)
The Confident Server: English for Restaurant Workers di The Esl Room
Note sull'episodio
The wrong words can lose a guest forever — even if the food was perfect. In this episode we cover 10 phrases that waiters use every day without realising the damage they cause, and give you the exact words to use instead. From "calm down" to "it's not my fault" to "are you still working on that?" — these are the phrases that make guests feel unheard, unwelcome, and unlikely to come back.
The good news? Every single one is easy to fix once you know what to say instead.
In this episode:
- Why small phrases create big impressions
- 10 common phrases that damage guest relationships
- The professional alternative for each one
- How the right words build trust and bring guests back
- Why language matters as much as the food itself
