“10 Alarming Red Flags That Reveal You’re Dining in a Restaurant Disaster!”
The quality of their Mac n’ Cheese. If they put effort into that, they’ll put effort into everything.
From experience of the restaurant I worked in:
If its slow (less than half of the tables full) and there is more than one dirty table with nobody stopping to clean it, run.
If your plate is hot on the edges but only warm or cool in the middle, its been microwaved.
If any hot dip, sauce, or gravy has a film within a minute of it hitting your table it has been sitting in the window for at least 5 minutes.
If you see a female server cleaning the men’s restroom during business hours then the bathroom will be filthy. The female servers I worked with barely gave it any attention when they were forced to clean it they just wanted to do the bare minimum and gtfo.
Check glassware because 9/10 times in our restaurant they were barely rinsed let alone sanitized. Check for fingerprints, lip marks or lipstick marks, or chips.
Speaking of: chipped dishes or glasses will never be completely clean. They’re unsanitary and bacterial landmines.
You walk in and the staff don’t stop chatting to each other to greet or seat you. And then when they finally notice you they seem annoyed that you interrupted their gossip session. Then they don’t bring a menu or take your drink order, but don’t seem to be doing much else.
Just turn around and walk out. They just failed the easiest part of hospitality and probably aren’t going to do a great job on the other parts.
