1. Greet me warmly — make me feel welcome.
2. Don’t call attention to my solo status by hollering, “Table for One!”
3. Ask me if I would welcome sharing a table with another solo diner.
4. Feed my craving for options, by offering me an array of seating choices, if you have them — a table for one
or counter/bar seating overlooking an exhibition kitchen or a seat at a communal table, etc.
5. Seat me quickly, if I’m standing in line — even before couples and groups, if possible.
6. Best: remove extra place settings without a lot of clatter; better: remove extra place settings
BEFORE you seat me.
7. Seat me where I won’t feel conspicuous — ideally, a location with a view and with good lighting, should I want
to read.
8. Maintain a stock of reading materials — newspapers and magazines — and offer them to me.
9. Suggest dishes that lend themselves to half portions, in case I want to enjoy a grazing meal.
10. Don’t assume I’m a non-tipper or that I never treat myself to a good bottle of wine.
11. Don’t rush me and don’t ignore me.
12. Invite me to return and suggest I make a reservation next time.
Sooner or later, EVERYONE — business and pleasure travelers, singles, those divorced
or widowed, very-marrieds whose spouses are on the road, harried moms and dads, etc. — faces the challenge of eating
out alone!
