What should be handed out first: food or drink?

  1. Drink

  2. Food

  3. Both simultaneously

  4. Neither

The correct answer is: Food

Handing out food first is a best practice in food service for several reasons. Primarily, the visual presentation of food enhances the overall dining experience. When customers receive their food first, they are more likely to appreciate its aroma and visual appeal, which can increase their satisfaction and anticipation. Furthermore, in many scenarios, food items may require immediate attention, particularly if they are hot and need to be consumed promptly to enjoy the best flavor and texture. If drinks are handed out first and left unattended, they can become a distraction or an inconvenience if customers have to manage both items simultaneously. Additionally, if a customer has ordered a meal that includes a beverage, receiving the food first can create a more cohesive experience, allowing them to enjoy their meal as intended without the risk of the beverage becoming a concern if it spills or is forgotten in the rush. Choosing to serve food first aligns with enhancing customer service, providing a better experience overall.
