Greet

This is a term used visually to signify that a server, busser, or manager has verbally and visually said “hello” to a table. Anyone walking by the table needs to acknowledge new guests and welcome them to the restaurant. Using a cocktail napkin and placing it near a guest signals that the table has been greeted, and a drink order has been offered. (This is old school, but it works well to show the guest has been acknowledged.)
