The waiter's posture?

It is very important for a waiter to work standing. Good standing posture can reflect the good quality and image of the waiter. Let me talk about several standing postures commonly used by waiters.

1. Side type

This is a common standing posture for male and female service personnel, and its essentials are as follows: head up, face turned straight ahead, eyes looking straight, jaw slightly retracted, neck straight, shoulders relaxed, breathing naturally and waist upright. Arms droop naturally, on both sides of the body, the fingertips of middle finger are aligned with the trousers seam, hands are clamped in the jaw forward, fingers are slightly bent, fists are half clenched, fingertips are downward, legs are close together and stand at attention, knees are close to the heels of both feet,

2. Anterior abdominal posture

Also known as the front cross. This is a standing posture commonly used by female service personnel. Its main points are: the posture of head, face, eyes, jaw, neck, shoulders and waist is the same as that of lateral position, heels are close together, knees are close together, hands naturally cross in front of the lower abdomen, right hand is placed on the left hand, and arms are slightly bent, which has a feeling of "end".

Step 3: Back modeling

Also known as back crossing. This is a common standing posture for male service personnel. The concept is that the posture of the head, face, eyes, jaw, neck, shoulders and waist is the same as that of the lateral position, the legs are separated, the width is shoulder-length or slightly narrower, and the feet are the same length, and the hands are gently placed on the back and waist to hold.

Step 4: t-shape

Or "Y" shape is a common standing posture for women. The key point is that the posture of the head, face, eyes, jaw, neck, shoulders, waist and other parts is the same as that of the lateral position, with one foot in front, the heel resting on the inside of the other foot, the toes slightly spreading out to form a diagonal "D", the hands crossing in front of the abdomen, and the body center of gravity on both feet.

When you stand too tired, you can adjust yourself, spread your legs slightly, and shift your weight to your left foot or right foot. Polite standing gives people the impression of being handsome, energetic, confident and positive. Therefore, in the reception service, we must develop the habit of paying attention to good standing.

Because of gender differences, male service personnel should stand steadily. The so-called "standing as loose" shows a man's masculinity, fortitude, bravery and chic, and needs a kind of "masculine" beauty. Specifically, when standing, male service personnel can put their hands together, fold them in front of their abdomen, or hold them behind their backs, or hold them on their sides, and their feet can be separated, and the distance between them is roughly shoulder width.

Female service personnel should be feminine when standing, that is, give people the feeling of "graceful", and at the same time pay attention to showing the charm of women's lightness, charm, demure and elegance, giving people a kind of "quiet" beauty. Specifically, when standing, female service personnel can put their heads in their hands or fold them in front of their abdomen. The legs should be basically close together, and the foot position should be adapted to the clothing. Wear a tight skirt, follow closely, and the feet are "V" or "Y". Wearing a dress or cheongsam can distinguish the feet and concentrate on one leg.
