The research method employed is a descriptive study involving direct observation and interviews with one greeter and 15 customers. The results show that the greeter plays a crucial role in operating SOP at the restaurant. The greeter must be able to welcome guests warmly, guide them to their desired tables, help them sit, escort them, and see them out to the exit. However, some greeters do not adhere to the standard procedures. Therefore, the authors recommend that the restaurant management conduct stricter oversight of greeting procedures and motivate greeters to improve their service performance.
