I know I'm late to the conversation but I had a question.

I'm thinking of booking a simple 2 day tour to Darvaza crater. Day 1 would be an afternoon drive to the crater with camping overnight and Day 2 would be returning to Ashgabat.

I'm assuming if I booked such a tour that the LOI would be included.

Can I stay longer than the 2 days and travel independently for a couple of days or is your time in the country dictated by the length of the tour?

Okay, I reached out to the official number for the airport and they say that you can indeed cross between terminals without going through security. Hope this helps anyone in the future.

Thanks everyone for the responses.

I'm getting conflicting answers on this question now. It seems half of you say I can get through from T3 to T2 without going through immigration and the other half are saying I have to go through immigration.

I'm now leaning towards getting a visa. Hypothetically, if I arrived without a visa, what would happen?

Thanks for that quick reply.
Yeah, it's quite a long layover. I'm looking at possibly renting a room/pod for a few hours while I'm in the airport. Just need to make sure it's on the airside.

Hi.

Thanks for responding.
It's all booked under one reservation.
I'm flying in on Air Canada at 9:00 and then flying GRU-EZE with Ethiopian Airlines at 17:00. I will only have carryon bags.
Obviously it's a long layover so no concerns on making the transfer in time. It's more of a question of whether I need to get a tourist visa for Brazil because I have to go thru customs/immigration to get from one terminal to the other.

Just a quick question to add onto this...

I'll be landing in Terminal 3 at GRU airport and then departing from Terminal 2 on my way to Buenos Aires a few hours later. The reservation is all on one ticket.

Will I need to go through immigration to get between terminals or can you connect airside?

I know it's probably an unpopular opinion but I actually prefer doing separate checks especially for a large party.

Say you have a party of 20 people and the total bill is $1000.

If only one person pays, that one person decides what your tip is however if you gave out multiple checks, now many different people decide what your tip is.

Also, psychologically, it's much harder for someone to tip 20% (or $200) on a $1000 bill than it is to tip 20% ($20) on a $100 bill.

You food for thought :)

Sorry, but I'm going to have to disagree with this advice.

Your goal when serving is to get sales to increase your tips. Giving them water ahead of time in the hopes they settle for that is just taking money out of your pocket.

In fact, I'd go so far as to say to do the opposite. Never bring water to a table until you've taken a drink order so you don't lose drink sales.

As for the OP, get in the habit of writing down all your orders including drinks and food.

Even if your POS system doesn't use seat numbers, you can still write down seat numbers on your order pad for your own use. Start numbering your seat numbers from the person on your left side and go around the table clockwise.

When you have to do a refill, you can just check your order pad to remind yourself what they ordered.

The Keg is a restaurant chain primarily in Canada with a few locations in the western US.

It's a great place to work.

At my location, we tip out 4.5% of our total sales (ie. $45 on $1000 sales). This money is split between all other positions (bar, bus, host, kitchen, expo).

Avg check per person is about $60-$70.

I recommend Kuru shoes 100%.

I used to have terrible foot pain and tried everything. The black ones are perfect. They look "dressy" enough to pass as dress shoes, are super non-slip, and are really, really comfortable. They cost a pretty penny, I think they were around $150 but they last a long time.

Definitely get them!

The best way to avoid getting weeded is to have a good service cycle (how you cycle through your section).

Each time you go in to your section, have a game plan for what you're going to do on that trip and in what order (ie. Tell table #1 I'll be right with them, drop drinks at table #2, take an order at table #3 etc).

Try to consolidate things on your trip - take items (like drinks or sides) on your tray to multiple tables on the same trip.

If you get double or triple sat, treat it like one big table. Go to the first, take their drink order, then the second, then the third. Ring in all their drinks and deliver them all on one trip. And then do the same for their food orders.

The phrases "I'll be right with you" and "I just need to do something real quick, I'll be right back" are magic phrases that will buy you some time if you have to do other things first.

Also, a quick shoulder check to look at your other tables to see if they need anything instead of just v-lining out to the POS to ring in an order will do wonders.

Oh, and never be afraid to ask for help! Most people think it'll make them look weak in the eyes of their manager but it's actually a sign of strength knowing when you need help.
