MISSED STANDARD

EVALUATOR OBSERVATIONS

Disruptive noises could be heard during the call. For example, the guest noted piano mu- sic and the sounds of a crowd in the back- ground. While other staff members were polite and maintained a gracious tone and appropriate pace during interactions, Raju spoke quickly and was difficult to understand. Though Arseline appropriately personalized the interactions, Raju overused the guest's name incorporating it into most of his sen- tences during the delivery and clean-up of the order.

Staff conveniently sets the table so the meal is ready to begin; all serviceware is neatly arranged

While Raju set the table, the setup was too far from the edge of the table, especially the sil- verware. Additionally, a ramekin was placed closer to the seat than the silverware. While other dishes were carefully plated, the crocks used for the sides on the steak frites dish notably overshadowed the main component and made the whole plate look crowded.
