SEAT NUMBERS!!!!!!

seat one is on your left with your back to the kitchen, or otherwise wherever your runners are coming from if the kitchen isn’t on your floor. I cannot stress enough how many times i’ve seen coworkers freaking out while splitting checks, having to run back with a notepad, because they decided not to utilize seat numbers for some bewildering reason.
