 50 Tips to Improve Your Tips 50 Tips to Improve Your Tips came about because a lot of people were saying that they liked my first book, Restaurant Basics, but that at the price, it was hard to give one to everyone on their staff. "Did I have something more bite-sized?" they asked. My response was 50 Tips to Improve Your Tips: The Service Pro's Guide to Delighting Diners. This is a pocket-sized paperback that will help your service staff create more personal connection with your patrons and increase their tips while improving service and guest satisfaction. 2.95-5.95 (depending on quantity) Add to cart to view discount schedule.
