1————————————————————————————————
The purpose of this report is to assess the new Monty’s fast-food restaurant in Chester, which I visited on 28th June.
2—————————————————————————————————
There is a varied menu at Monty’s which includes a fantastic salad bar, a wide choice of vegetarian dishes and five types of delicious hamburgers. I tried the Mexican Sizzler- a spicy hamburger with chili sauce in a soft, white bread roll. It was a bit too expensive.
3—————————————————————————————————
The Monty’s staff were helpful, friendly and polite. They looked very smart in their clean uniforms. Unfortunately, the service was rather slow and one of the cashiers gave me the wrong change.
4—————————————————————————————————
The friendly a staff, good music, clean tables, and comfortable seating all helped to give Monty’s an excellent atmosphere. The new no-smoking policy is also a good idea, and it made my meal at Monty’s a very pleasurable experience.
5—————————————————————————————————
The new Monty’s restaurant in Chester is , on the whole, a great success. However, I think that the manager should make a few improvements. Firstly, he should make sure that all hot dishes are hot when they go out to customers. Secondly, he should lower the prices, as they are too high for a fast-food restaurant. Finally, he should improve staff training, so that the staff work faster and make fewer mistakes.
