The last couple weeks of frigid weather have led to record low sales at Primantis. As a server, I don\u2019t typically think of myself as a salesperson because people have already came to the restaurant wanting to eat the food without me having to sell it to them.

Without actually thinking about it, I have been selling to all of my tables at work. I&#8217;ve realized that I&#8217;m actually selling the restaurant as well. If I can provide great service to customers, they&#8217;re more likely to come back again and increase sales for the restaurant.
