Servers & managers love it
“Our tips went up and the shift flies by now. The games actually make selling fun.”
Why I created the book
For more than 20 years — including over a decade in management — I've hired and trained countless servers. Again and again I hear, “We’ve never had games like this before.” The Server Game Book turns basic sales contests into engaging, ever-changing games that channel servers’ natural competitiveness into better selling, stronger teamwork, and shifts people actually look forward to.
We’ve never had games like this before.
Fun games. Better teamwork. Bigger results.
A Peek Inside
A memory-style game that turns every featured-item sale into a turn at the board. Most matches when the shift ends wins. The actual book page sits beside this breakdown.
Set it up
- 01Use the enclosed match cards.
- 02Mix the pairs and place them face down in rows on a board using tape.
- 03Write the menu items you want to promote.
- 04Write the servers' names on the board.
How to play
- 01Each time a server sells an item from the promotion list, they may turn over and look at two cards.
- 02If the cards do not match, return them face down in the same locations.
- 03When a matching pair is found, remove the pair from the board, give it to a manager, and place a tally beside the server's name.
- 04The player with the most matching pairs after all cards have been removed — or when the shift ends — wins!
Bonus rule. If a player sells multiple promotional items, they may take multiple turns. Players may only flip two cards at a time, returning them face down before beginning the next turn.
