Clam Chowder: The Server's Field Manual
by Matt Lehman

Paperback: 140 pages

Publisher: Velcro Crayons Publishing (January, 2004)

ISBN: 0974911313

 

Book Description
Having read everything I could get my hands on about waiting tables and the like, I found one common thread. Every book seems to be written to give the customer a new perspective. Haven't we given enough to these ungrateful slobs? Isn't it funny that even after the tables are wiped, the ketchups refilled, and the tips collected we are still trying to earn their respect? Screw the customers.
Clam Chowder is for the waiters and waitresses.

Being realistic, I also realized that I don't want servers to think about tables outside of work. Clam Chowder is designed to be read AT WORK! It fits perfectly into an apron or back pocket. Pick it up between tables, read a few pages, laugh, put it back in your apron, and go back to the grind. It also doesn't have to be read in order.

If you want to know where to work, how to get a job, and how to successfully have sex in the walk-in freezer - this book needs to be in your apron. There are practical tips too, like how to wash and press a uniform at work in about 20 minutes, how to clean crusty burnt coffee pots, and how to survive co-worker romances.

GetBookReviews.com    Short, sweet, and to the point, Matt Lehman's Book Clam Chowder gives us a humorous and yet real look inside the lives of the wait staff at restaurants around the nation.  Although names change, and situations vary, waiters have a sometimes difficult job dealing with people, food, co-workers and themselves. This book takes a light-hearted approach to this position and gives tips, suggestions, and plain must-do's for those entering or already in, the tiring job as a waiter or waitress.  Clam Chowder: The Server's Field Manual is not only for restaurant staff, even customers will get a laugh and maybe even learn a few tips themselves.  A great learning lesson or a great pick-me-up read. ****

ISBN: 0967458609

 

Book Description
"Laugh & Grow Rich...How to Profit from Humor in Any Business" is a collection of tools that will serve as a blueprint for business success while you enjoy the process. Humor makes "cents". We are living in a user-friendly, instant gratification, entertain me now society that is willing to part with its hard earned money--if the process is made entertaining.


Quality, service, price, and selection are no longer the only differentiators of a business. The use of humor in business is powerful because it not only attracts new business, keeps existing customers or clients, but makes the process enjoyable for both customers and employees alike. This book will show you how to make this "laugh and grow rich philosophy" a part of your business culture.

 

GetBookReviews.com   Humor and business together?  Who would have thought, but authors Rick Segel and Darren LaCroix have written a superb book on business, customer service and laughter.  Learn how to intertwine all of the aspects of business with laughter and better yourself as well as better your business. This book is easy to follow and the ideas quite normal, yet quite extraordinary in their outcome.  I will be keeping my copy of the book for future reads and to share with friends and family.  Every professional can learn something from this book even if it's just how to laugh a little more at the big and little things in life and business.  ****
