To paraphrase Geoffrey Chaucer, all good things must come to an end. So it is with our live, on-site dining etiquette and restaurant service training. As of late 2022, we'll no longer be offering these services.
But don't despair -- we still have your training needs covered! We'll continue to make our training materials available on our site, at Booklocker.com and through all major retail and online booksellers. You'll find our books and supplemental materials here.
We'll also be putting new focus on our "mystery diner" services. Please be sure to contact us if you're interested in our 200-points-of-contact secret shopper program. We'll be adding more info on that to our site soon.
As we bring this chapter of EATiQuette to a close, we have many people and organizations to thank for their support over the last 30-plus years.
- Chef Vincent Guerithault, Leevon Guerithault and the staff at Vincent's on Camelback in Phoenix for allowing us to host our high school dining etiquette workshop lunches at your exceptional restaurant for nearly 20 years.
- The Yuma Union High School Career & Technical Education Department administrators, staff and instructors who've supported both our dining etiquette and table service training programs for so many years.
- A big shout out to Mrs. Bonnie "Mac" Irvine McNamara, French Instructor with the Chandler Unified School District, who holds the record for most groups participating in our dining etiquette workshop lunches.
- The Pascua Yaqui Tribe, Casino del Sol and Casino of the Sun in Tucson -- and, specifically, Director Of Organizational Development Marcus Diaz -- were not only one of our first and long-time casino clients, but worked with us back in our company's infancy to develop our certificated waitstaff training program.
- Yakama Legends Casino in Toppenish, WA brought us back time-after-time to refresh their staff's skills even in the days when they only operated a buffet and small cafe.
We'll occasionally post our "tip pool" restaurant service tips and our vintage dining etiquette "tip-of-the-month" on both this site and our Facebook page. Be sure to check back occasionally for the latest tips.
Also be sure to browse the many articles written about EATiQuette over the years as well as articles we've written about restaurant service.
Thanks for visiting our site. Thanks, too, to the many servers, bussers, hosts, supervisors and managers at the restaurants, hotels, resorts, casinos and clubs we've worked with over the years to bring EATiQuette-style professional food and beverage service to your diners. Much future success to all in the industry!
