SynopsisNamed America's Best Restaurant by Wine Spectator, Charlie Trotter's is built on four fundamental pillars -- food, wine, ambience, and service -- which combine to create a truly transcendent dining experience. Before opening his eponymous Chicago restaurant, Chef Trotter formed what would become the foundation of his business by dining in the finest restaurants in the world, tasting expertly prepared dishes, sampling carefully chosen wines, and watching the subtle yet purposeful dance between chefs, servers, and guests. He quickly discovered that even the most exquisite food can't make up for lackluster service., In the second book in the Lessons from Charlie Trotter series, the lauded chef shares his strategies for success in this guide on how to give the ultimate dining experience. As winner of the James Beard Foundation's Outstanding Restaurant Award, Charlie Trotter and his service staff run what many consider to be America's finest restaurant. But it's not just about food in this renowned Chicago hot spot. It's about a subtle relationship between food, wine, ambiance, and service-a relationship Trotter has perfected by hiring passionate staff with the ability to surpass his incredibly high standards. In LESSONS IN SERVICE, journalist Edmund Lawler reveals the secrets behind Trotter's unequaled success and shows other businesses how to improve their levels of service. From unconventional motivational techniques, staff empowerment, and mentoring to role playing, preservice meetings, and an obsessive pursuit of excellence-Trotter leaves nothing to chance.
