Restaurant Owner/Manager/Employee Program

Elevate the appeal of your food with stunning table settings, and educate your staff around proper tea and dining etiquette for an enhanced customer experience.

Working in the hospitality industry, you’re no doubt aware that eating is a multi-sensory experience. That said, restaurant-goers almost always base their first impressions on what they see – and first impressions are lasting impressions.

The eyes lead and the taste buds follow. Therefore, the visual appeal of your table settings matters every bit as much as the quality of the food you serve.

If you want to create a food experience that is memorable for all the right reasons, A Taste of Etiquette has two workshops for you.
