Complaints and Recovery

The sequence

Listen.

Acknowledge.

Fix it.

And tell the kitchen.

The decisions

Whether to explain. No. Even when the room is right, the argument is a loss — and it happens in front of other guests.

And whether to tell the kitchen. Always — because a dish that comes back twice in a night is information rather than bad luck, and the floor is the only one who sees the pattern early.

What you are reading

What came back and what was left on the plate.

What goes wrong here

Argued.

And not relayed, which means the pattern never reaches anyone who can fix it.

Verification

Track returns by dish.

The boundary

None specific.
