Most of the waiter / waitress has not mastered well SOP, for example in the present series no menu even more so when the restaurant is Crowded. Responsibility in the section area less attention and lack of coordination, in addition to guests arriving in a state of wet towels should be given, but in practice sometimes waiter forgot and the chair becomes wet. Cleanliness is less guarded, then apply "clean as you go". While in the operational time is not compact, so not in accordance with SOP.
