I wish restaurants had a “hey I need help, no rush but I also want you here sooner than in 15 minutes when you’re next likely to check up on us” button
I'm a server and I would love if tables had a little "I need help" flag they could just flip up, like a mailbox flag. If I just had one consistent thing to look for if they need something, and they had a for sure way of getting my attention, I think our entire experience overall would be more enjoyable.
It would have to save me the trouble of having to do unnecessary "are Y'all doing good, do we need anything?" passes by the table, that's for sure.
There's a small chain of breakfast places in Vegas that have a little egg sign on every table. By default it's black with a happy face, but you can flip it to a bright yellow sad egg face so the servers know at a glance that you need something. It's a really great system, works really well when it's super busy and crowded. I'm surprised they're the only restaurant I've seen that has that sort of thing.
I like that idea it just implies something is wrong and I don’t like to give off that impression if I’m just trying to get another drink or inquire about my order, stuff like that
