Here Is How You Can Get A VIP Treatment in Nairobi Restaurants

You are not a celebrity, a potbellied politician or chef’s best friend. Why would you be given attention in these restaurants bro? Let me tell you from my perspective, VIP treatment is real and you are probably not getting it because you guys think that it costs a fortune. Be surprised to find out that the treatment labeled VIP has nothing to do with extravagant spending or ones title in the society. It’s all in the way you maneuver your way in and about in these establishments.

One General mistake we people make when we visit a restaurant is trying to show the whole world how knowledgeable and sophisticated we are and it becomes quite hectic when Rich people try to flaunt their expensive tastes hoping to drag attention of the whole establishment so that they get the best in service. Most of the time they end up getting poor or rather substandard treatment since the waiters don’t give a damn.

By the way waiters are a bunch of clever minds that if you can’t find their niche then you are doomed!! Look, the basics of being offered good service in a Restaurant comes in a very simple way…be polite, be respectful, be friendly period.

However, there are some simply yet practical ways to get treated well that aren’t so obvious but can surely make a huge difference in dining experience.

Here are some of the assorted reasons to help you get a VIP Treatment:

Dress Well

How the hell would a grown up turn up for dinner in flip flops or a Pajama? Get your act together and dress to impress for the occasion. It’s not a bathroom….it’s a Restaurant.

Most of Nairobi city Restaurants however have no strict adherence to dressing code unless it’s a special occasion which you should know better in advance. You should therefore style up, wear smart casual that is neat, pressed and comfortable or even a suit. Look presentable to be taken seriously.

Make a Reservation

Reservations help an establishment to anticipate the night’s business. It’s very important as it will show and proof you were at the restaurant. Besides, your information is as well stored at the reservations portal to help them know your preferences.

One reason we tend not to be awarded a VIP Treatment experience at a restaurant is being an absentee after making a reservation and that usually ends up being a pain in the ass to a staff trying to plan things around.

At least if you happen to have an emergency and can’t make it then it’s recommended you do a cancelation 30 minutes before time. This will surely help in taking in any other walk in that might not have gotten a table. Failure to adhere to such simple rules will always put you in a blacklist category that later jeopardizes your chances of an ultimate dining experience. Been once sidelined i know the feeling.

Make Frequent Visits

You must make several trips to an establishment for them to be familiar with your face. This actually helps in noting down your preferences. It also gives you an upper hand of knowing the Manager and his staffs which will help you in the long run of getting a preferential treatment.

Personally, I think serving a frequent dinner is more fun than a new one however the new ones are more likely to become frequenters if served right.

Be Nice

One of the best ways of having a first glove service in any establishment is by understanding how all the operations work. It’s not your duty of coz but having a technical know-how that for you to be served right all the chains of operations have to work seamlessly, starting from the Chef, maître d (Restaurant Manager) down to the waiter.

I can’t stand those People who are ever Loud and obnoxious who can’t be gentlemen enough and be patient. Waiters will ever be there to serve you food nothing much, taking your cool and not talking much always drives them closer to you.

And for your information the staff at the restaurants are well trained and knows what good service entails so you trying to be above par will not only make you look like an asshole
