Since last summer we have been trying out having waiters and waitresses on the weekends during the buffet. We have had some ups and downs with doing table service, and it is a bit of a learning curve, but the improvement in efficiency is really noticeable when we do it right. Instead of having dine in customers waiting in line at the counter to place their order then having to go find a seat and wait again, having a server gives dine in customers quick attention and they are able to place their orders in comfort. This has an advantage for the takeout customers too in that the lines are shorter becuase the dine in customers are already seated. The cafe now has a wait staff daily during breakfast and lunch, and we hope to expand table service to the evenings as soon as we expand our grilled menu to the evenings.
