Being in hospitality, the business needs a people person and good staff know that.
You will find them greeting their guests and opening small conversations when needed.
To practice your people skills, always have that sociable atmosphere. A warm smile always leads to a good conversation...followed by a good flow of orders of drinks.
Make your guests feel comfortable around you by talking about appropriate topics.
You don’t need to be a chatterbox just to keep your customers' attention, but it will be a sure help to know some jokes or updates on current events.
Know your guests, ask simple, non-intrusive questions, keeping in mind that your current guest can be a future patron, so it pays to know them, bit by bit.
