Your Questions About Pass To Paradise
Sharon asks…
I just got hired as a server at a brand new pub/restaurant and I have never served before! Any tips?
I have worked in the food service industry for seven years, five of which I was a supervisor at Paradise Bakery (similar to Panera if you don’t know what that is) which is more of a cafeteria style dining environment. I do great with guests, however since this bar is brand new I was unable to follow an experienced server and our training was not very thorough. I’m feeling intimidated by the other servers who have experience and while mistakes are imminent I’d like to well!
admin answers:
Server Tips 1 – Be familiar with the menu. Although initial training involves general knowledge of the menu, it is not uncommon for a server to draw an occasional blank. Even as a new server to a restaurant, appear confident and sure about the quality of the food. If you are unsure of the dish, be honest and say you’re new and suggest a popular dish or a personal favorite.
Server Tips 2 – Practice lots of manners when waiting on customers. Remember the old pleases such a „thank you“, „ma’am“, „sir“, and so on. Repeat them often. They „will“ make a good impression.
Server Tips 3 – Remove clutter from the table. Clear dishes that appear finished- but always ask first to be sure. If you are serving a smoking table, remember to change ashtrays frequently. When removing ashtrays, make sure you first cover it with a napkin to avoid ashes from getting on their food and other tables that you pass when discarding the butts.
Server Tips 4 – Frequent your tables. There is an appropriate medium for how often you tend to your tables‘ needs. Don’t ignore your intuitions and never discriminate based on stereotypes. Some customers demand more attention than others. However, don’t assume that every customer needs constant attention – this can become a nuisance. Feel out your customers on an individual basis and you’ll acquire a knack for the perfect delivery.
Server Tips 5 – There is always that person that doesn’t know what to order because it’s their first time in the restaurant. Make sure you have the cook’s specialty in mind or even a few of your own favorite dishes to suggest.
Server Tips 6 – Introduce yourself. Break the icy impersonal barrier by telling them your name. After all, customers often base their generosity on the level of service that they receive. Rather than simply being their server, you have the ability to form a relationship at a more personal level. Great servers are critical channels for acquiring repeat restaurant clientele and what is more comforting than being graced by a familiar face?
Server Tips 7 – Make sure drinks are always filled. Do not wait until they have to ask you. Depending on personal preference you can either refill drinks with a pitcher or bring their drink in a new cup. You’ll figure out quickly what works for you. As long as you keep the customer’s thirst quenched, you’re in good shape!
Server Tips 8 – Always check ID’s when serving alcohol. Do not assume anyone’s age. If you fail to make sure that the consumer is over the age of 21 and alcohol is served to a minor, this may result in losing your job and/or serving jail time. It can also get the restaurant owners in a lot of trouble.
Server Tips 9 – If often your humble nature exudes a level of modesty, don’t be afraid to break from those chains. As shallow as this may be, in a business where looks can score you more cash, stay in touch with your personal hygiene and overall appearance. Look in the mirror often. Pay attention to little things like remnants of your previous meal lodged in between your teeth!
Server Tips 10 – Keep your sense of humor. Participate in small talk with your customers. Keep them engaged. Listen to what they have to say. Politely remove yourself when need be – they will understand that you are busy. Even during a dinner rush, make sure that your customers are relatively entertained when you are in their presence. The little time that you spend with your table is very valuable, so use it wisely.
Server Tips 11 – When taking orders for large groups, it is helpful to assign everyone a number in order of where they are seated either in your head or written down. This will help you organize who gets what drink and what food as you can write down or remember what they ordered according to their number. You can even use this method for small groups as well if your memory isn’t the best.
Server Tips 12 – Timing is everything when you’re asking your guest „Are you enjoying your meal?“ I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been asked that question just after I’ve taken a bite of food! Take a second to make sure your guest can answer the question before you ask it!
Server Tips 13 – Be sure to check the general mood of your table. If your customers seem on edge or as if there is something wrong with their order, they may be too shy to tell you. Ask if there is anything you can do to be of further assistance. You want to make sure you can defuse any potentially bad situations as quickly as possible!
Michael asks…
Can anyone give me a list of hardest pop songs to sing while walking on the streets?
Hey, can anyone give me a list of songs that is hard to sing while walking on the streets? It shouldn’t be an opera song – should be a pop song. Have you ever experienced walking on the streets, and singing to yourself – and you’ve got to belch out that tune and you think it’s difficult and you might weird out other people passing by if you sing real loud? Well those are the song I’m looking for. Cause I’m trying to test my friend if he could slow down the song; – in tempo and in volume!

Mary asks…
According to your version of Christianity, does a child molesting priest get into heaven if he repents?
And what about the many kids that are no longer Christian because of the abuse from their trusted priest/pastor?
Your system allows for the priest to head to paradise while the children will burn in hell. Does that sound right? Is that what your lord intended?
It’s disgusting.
admin answers:
Sadly, it is what the doctine says. If he asks forgiveness it doesn’t matter how many people he has molested, tortured, robbed, or killed. He gets a pass to heaven and eternal bliss.
Conversely, if any of the people he murdered were not able to ask forgiveness for their relatively minor sins before he shot them in the back of the head from across the street. They go to hell for all eternity.
Charles asks…
What are some good laid back old school hip hop tracks?
Like Pharcyde’s „Passing Me By“ or Souls Of Mischief’s „93 Till Infinity“? I really don’t like all the newer hiphop because it’s all crap focused on cars, hoes, and cash.

Steven asks…
Is burnout the ultimate box worth getting or should i just get the normal copy for less?
Well i’ve decided to get burnout paradise because i keep meaning to get it and now it’s pretty cheap (£10-£15) but i was wondering if the ultimate box version is actually worth getting? Because i only have £20 on me at the moment and i wanna buy a t-shirt for £10. any advice? which is the best buy?
admin answers:
The only thing extra the ultimate box will give you is the „Party Pack“ which is a multiplayer pass the controller turn based mode. Can be a lot of fun with a few competitive people around. If you don’t want that just get the standard game, and any other content you want to purchase as a download. Budget to get the Big Surf Island at least.
