What should a Server with Heart do when delivering drinks?

When delivering drinks, using the drink name when giving it to a guest and asking if they would like a straw provides a more personalized and attentive service experience. This approach engages the guest by acknowledging their specific order, which can enhance their overall dining experience. It demonstrates that the server is attentive to the guest's individual needs and preferences, making them feel valued and respected.

Additionally, by offering a straw, the server shows consideration for the guest's comfort and preferences, further enhancing the interaction. This attention to detail is a key component of the "Server with Heart" philosophy, which emphasizes creating a connection and making each guest feel special during their visit.

In contrast, placing all drinks and straws at the center of the table lacks the personal touch that comes with direct interaction and can lead to confusion about which drink belongs to whom. Auctioning drinks and placing them in the center of the table is also not suitable as it removes the personal connection and can come across as unprofessional.
