The head waiter embodies the soul of the place. He knows about its origins, history, and he certainly has a few anecdotes to share. The head waiter provides the link between the kitchen and the dining room, between the chef and the guests. He conveys the spirit of the kitchen and is charged with explaining its essence. He is the conductor of an orchestra at a well-organised dance, and guarantees that service runs smoothly and that the wonderful food will remain forever etched on the minds of the guests.
