RULES FOR LEGENDARY SERVICE

1. COMMITT TO QUALITY SERVICE Everyone in this company and inside this restaurant needs to be devoted to creating a positive experience for each and every guest that walks through those doors. Always try to go above and beyond the guests expectations. 2. KNOW OUR PRODUCTS One of Kents top 10 is Knowledgeable Servers. Convey an articulate and in depth description of our food and drinks to win over the guests trust and confidence. The more knowledgeable you are the easier it will be to sell that smothered or loaded or Jamaican Cowboy margarita. 3. KNOW YOUR GUESTS

Try to learn everything you can about your customers in order to tailor your service approach to their needs and buying habits. Talk to the guests about their previous experiencewas it positive or negative? And listen to their complaints if they have any. Maybe its a simple fix, like having to wait on the weekendswhich can be fixed by using the call ahead program.
4. TREAT PEOPLE WITH RESPECT Remember that every time that you interact and serve a guest that interaction will leave an impression with that particular guest. Use peace-making phrases such as Sorry to keep you waiting, Youre Welcome, and Its been a pleasure serving you to demonstrate not only your commitment to customer satisfaction but your dedication to courtesy. 5. NEVER ARGUE WITH THE GUEST

You know very well that the customer isnt always right. However, it is important that you do not focus on the missteps of a particular situation; instead, concentrate on how to fix it. Research shows that 7 out of 10 guests will come back to dine with us if the complaint is resolved in their favor .
6. ALWAYS PROVIDE WHAT YOU PROMISE At Texas Roadhouse we PROMISE Legendary Food & Legendary Service. If we fail to do this and we will lose credibility and customers. Do your part each and every day to raise the bar and to truly provide that LEGENDARY experience.

7. ASSUME THAT YOUR GUESTS TELL THE TRUTH Even though that it may appear that a guest may lie to try to manipulate a situation to their advantage, it is to your advantage to give them the benefit of the doubt. The majority of guest dont like to complain; in fact, theyll go out of their wayperhaps that even means going to a competitor, to avoid it. If you hear unhappy rumblings from your guest, take their complaints to heart and do your best to soothe their dissatisfaction. 8. MAKE THE GUEST FEEL IMPORTANT AND APPRECIATED Treat them as individuals. Always try to compliment thembut be sincere. People value sincerity. It creates good feelings and trust. Customers are very sensitive and know whether or not you really care about them. Thank them every time you get. 9. HELP THE GUESTS UNDERSTAND OUR SYSTEMS & DAILY SPECIALS I feel that Texas Roadhouse has some of the best systems in place to make dining easy and convenient. Its your responsibility to make sure they understand and know about these systems and awesome specials Does your guest know about our Call Ahead Seating program? Do they know that we have 10 diners for $7.49 Mon-Thurs 4-6:30? Do they know that we offer $2 Long Island Iced Teas Every Single Day? Do they know about our kids nightevery Monday all night long$.99 kids meals plus an awesome Balloon Guy? Do they know that they can get $1.50 mugaritas every Tues & Weds?

NEVER FORGET THAT THE GUEST PAYS OUR SALARY AND BILLS AND MAKES YOUR JOB POSSIBLE. PROVIDING JUST GOOD SERVICE ISNT GOING TO WIN OVER THE GUESTWE MUST PROVIDE LEGENDARY SERVICE EVERY SINGLE SHIFT.

I felt like closing out today with a little philosophy. In our lives, we owe it to ourselves to follow what we feel is right for us. Put singularly, you owe it to yourself to follow your true gut feelings and instincts. You know whats right, you know whats wrong. Dont ever follow preconceived notions that others may lead you to believe. If the actions in everyday life feel uncomfortable or forced, maybe you should step back and reevaluate your decisions. Do what you would do, not someone else. Live for you, live to be happy and good to your family and friends. If you have gotten away from instinct and logic, get back to things that make sense. Do the right thing; it makes life so much better and so much easier.
