When a guest requests a customization beyond standard recipe, what should you do?

• A. Ignore the request
• B. Decline the customization
• C. Make changes without confirmation
• D. Follow standard recipe guidelines and confirm changes with the guest

Answer: (D)

The key practice is to treat any customization as a change to the order that must be confirmed with the guest, using the standard recipe as the baseline. When a guest asks for something beyond the standard, acknowledge the request, restate the exact modifications, and get explicit confirmation before proceeding. This ensures we understand their preferences exactly, preserves product quality, and avoids mistakes. As you handle it, ask clarifying questions if needed (for example, which milk, syrups, foam, temperature, or any allergens), and repeat the details back to the guest to confirm you’ve got it right. Check that the requested changes are feasible with available ingredients and tell the guest if there’s any impact on price or preparation time. Then update the order in the system and proceed only after the guest confirms. This process keeps the guest involved, protects safety, and aligns with standard procedures. Avoid ignoring the request, declining without offering alternatives, or making changes without the guest’s explicit approval. If the customization isn’t possible due to safety or policy, offer a suitable alternative and involve a supervisor if needed.
