Serving water correctly involves presenting the

bottle (if applicable) with the label facing the


guest for confirmation, opening it in front of
them, and pouring to just below the rim of the
glass. It's also important to avoid spills,
splashes, or ice cubes flying onto the table,
and to serve with confidence.
Elaboration:
1. Preparation and Presentation:
 For bottled water: Ensure the bottle is sealed and
present it with the label facing the guest to confirm
their order.
 For jugs: Take the jug to the table on a neatly
folded waiter's cloth.
 Check the glass: Always ensure the glass is
spotless and clean.
2. Serving Etiquette:
 Pouring:
Hold the bottle (or jug) by its lower section,
ensuring the label is visible.
 Fill level:
Fill the glass to about 2/3 of the way up, or just
below the rim, to avoid spills.
 Serve on the right:
Serve water on the guest's right side.
 Posture:
Maintain a posture with your right foot forward to
avoid showing your back to the guest while
pouring.
3. Post-Pouring:
 Wipe spills: If there are any drips, wipe them off
with a waiter's cloth from the spout or mouth of the
bottle/jug.
 Empty bottles: Replace empty bottles promptly.
4. Additional Tips:
 Confidence: Pour with confidence and avoid spills.
 Water as a welcome: Some restaurants offer water
before seating to show hospitality and ensure guest
comfort.
 Customize: Consider adding herbs, vegetables, or
flowers to make serving water more attractive.
 Consider guest preferences: Some guests may
prefer still or sparkling water, so offer choices.
