Servers will in no way approach or question a guest in regards to a tip they received.

Counter employees:

Mrs. Martys has a pooled house policy in regards to tips given at the counter for good service. Included in the pool are: grill cooks, sandwich board, counter help and cashiers. All tips collected during a shift are to be put into a designated envelope at the cash resgister and handed to a manager at the end of that shift.

Credit cards: We accept all major credit cards.

1. 1. The check must be in U.S. dollars
   2. Ask guest for valid photo ID (drivers license or passport)
   3. On the check there should be a signature and you should be present for the second signature. Make sure they match.
   4. Record all of the customer’s information on the back of the traveler check: full name, last 4 digits of their ID #, DOB. If more than one traveler check is used all information must be written on each check upon completion of transaction.
      1. 5. Treat the traveler check as cash and give change if needed.

   Gift cards: Mrs. Martys gift cards look like credit cards and are treated as such. First the balance of the card must be checked and then payment can be processed. Upon using a combination of gift card and credit card, the gift card must be authorized and approved first before continuing with second form of payment. Any balance will remain on the card and may be used the next time they dine at Mrs. Martys.

   Cash: Money must not be put in pocket or handled in inconspicuous areas. All cash transactions must be entered into the computer and put into the register. Do not leave cash, checks or tips on the table or counter unattended.

Mrs. Martys style of service is friendly, personable and prompt. We want to create an enviroment where people feel invited and part of the family. By this we mean it is important to treat each guest like a VIP. Get to know your regulars and their ordering habbits. We encourage employees to engage customers in friendly dialogue without getting too personal or having it interfer with quality of service to other customers (i.e. during busy times).

It is your goal as a server or counter person to give each guest a dinning or take-out experience to remember rather than just a meal. That means you are required to be knowlegable about the full menu and all food products we sell over the counter. It is the counter persons responsibility to make sure all take-out food is complete and goes to the right customer. And it is the servers responsibility to make sure the right food makes it to the table in a presentable and timely manor.

A Mrs. Martys servers or counter persons’ job is to provide our guests with a memorable meal/experience. By using the power of suggestion, you can sell and up sell without making a guest feel uncomfortable.

You can suggest one of our new items like the brisket hoagie by sharing what is so good and unique about it as they look over the menu. Always have a couple of your favorite menu items ready to recommend. If you have a regular customer you can encourage them to explore the new menu items.

Towards the end of the meal always drop the check with a dessert menu during lunch and dinner. Check back to see if you can interest them in something by making a recommendation.

It is your job to know the dinner specials and brunch specials each day so you can confidently explain the items and recommend them.

Multitasking is one of the most difficult parts of being a Mrs. Martys server. You are responsible for the timing and arival of the food as well as the beverages. The hardest part is to time the hot and cold food to come out and to stay on top of beverage refills. It is important to coordinate and manage these tasks with your coworks when need be.
