If a restaurant is serving bad food then it should close.

In case of bad service then  the employees must be either notified or removed.

 

Actually any sector can have mistakes but not restaurants.

  1. If its a bad service, you as the manager apologize on behalf of the staff member and offer a desert for free.
  2. Any fault with the food, you apologize and offer a free meal

The best way is apologies to the costumer there are many different way of service depend on the quality of the costumer or nationality, the restuarant must have the standard of service and the food. The only thing can cause of bad service is not recognize or unattended to the costumer need. Training for the staff about the standard of service and hospitality so that will not happen again.

For bad service or bad food, Manager of that restaurant should apologize in the first instance, second should deal with that customer himself, by offering the following,

1)A better location within the restaurant if available & a free meal served in his presence.

2)Give assurance to offer the customer a better service on the next visit.
