We always need to know the presentation and serving skills. Some techniques are as follows :
- For the two plate method:
Flatten your three fingers (excluding the little finger), these fingers will go beneath the plate and will be used to keep it balanced.Your little finger will then be held directly beneath the rim, this gives you extra stability as you walk. Finally the thumb is used on the upper side of the rim to make the plate secure.
- Carrying a tray:All beginners know that trays can be a tricky technique to master but once you've had a practice you'll be fine!Hold the tray underneath with the palm of your hand. Your hand should be at the centre of the tray and hold it up just over your shoulder.
- Keep your serviettes out of the way:
If you're expected to carry a table napkin with you at all times, don't carry it over your shoulder. You might often see waiters and waitresses carrying a serviette over their shoulder on television or even in real life but these people shouldn't. When carrying two or three plates, you haven't got any hands free to catch your napkin if it falls and drops on the food or on the floor.
- Practice makes perfect :Obviously avoid using the expensive plates, just in case you have some shaky starts, and hold the plates closely over a table or a soft surface to avoid any smashes.
