“Another bottle of water?”
In midsummer the bottle is gone by the first course. Nobody brings another.

Restaurant sales training · Mallorca
We train floor teams in Mallorca to ask what almost nobody asks: another glass, something to share, dessert, coffee. Without pushing the guest, and with the result measured on your own till data.
The initial audit is free on all three options. Training takes place in your venue, in Spanish, English and German.
Same table, same food. Just five more questions.
Illustrative bill. Prices in euros, VAT included.
The problem
Service in Mallorca is friendly but passive: leaving guests alone is seen as good manners. Guests from Britain, Germany or Scandinavia, though, are often used to being asked. If nobody asks, they don’t order. And that sale is lost, night after night.
What gets missed in each type of venue
“Another bottle of water?”
In midsummer the bottle is gone by the first course. Nobody brings another.
≈ +€0.45 per guest*
“Another glass?”
An empty glass is the clearest signal on any floor. It’s almost always missed.
≈ +€0.90 per guest*
“Something to share meanwhile?”
Pa amb oli, croquetas, padrón peppers. A plate for the middle of the table that nobody regrets.
≈ +€0.60 per guest*
“Shall I show you desserts?”
Bringing the dessert menu back, or describing two, works far better than a quick “anything else?”.
≈ +€1.05 per guest*
“Coffee? A hierbas?”
The natural end to a Mallorcan meal, and a line on the menu that usually carries a good margin.
≈ +€0.50 per guest*
“Shall we open another?”
At a table of four, the second bottle is often the easiest sale of the night: the wine is already chosen.
≈ +€0.50 per guest*

Calculator
Move the sliders to match your restaurant. Figures are indicative.
This is arithmetic, not a forecast: you choose the increase, and the 70% margin is an assumption. Your real starting point comes from the audit.
Method
A one-off talk is soon forgotten. So we work on your floor, with your team, during real service, and measure the result.
We review your menu and till data and observe a service as guests. We set your baseline average spend.
3–4 hours with the whole floor team: the six questions, reading the table, natural phrases in ES/EN/DE and role-play with your own menu.
We work alongside your staff during real services and correct on the spot. This is where the habit sticks.
We compare average spend, items per table and sales per server, before and after. Numbers, not gut feeling.
Why Otra Ronda
We don’t teach pushing. We teach paying attention. Guests feel better looked after, and the bill shows it.
Training happens in your venue, before service, with the dishes and wines you actually sell. No generic course in translation.
Phrases in Spanish, English and German, tuned to how a British, German or Spanish table really orders. Local produce, local menus, peak season.
We work from your POS data. If spend doesn’t go up, you’ll see that too.
A pocket guide and short material to bring in staff who join mid-season, plus a refresher before each opening.

FAQ
Not if it’s done well. We teach suggesting at the right moment, in natural words, never insisting. A specific suggestion usually lands as good service, especially with guests who are used to being asked.
That’s exactly why. We leave material to bring new staff up to speed and offer a refresher before each season, so the system stays when the people change.
We don’t promise a timescale or a figure. We set your baseline during the audit and track it week by week, so your own numbers show whether it moves, and when.
With your POS data: average spend, items per table and sales per server. We set the baseline during the audit and compare afterwards using the same rules.
Spanish by default, and English or German if your team needs it. Guest-facing phrases are practised in all three.
That depends on your company’s training credit and how the course is set up. Ask us and we’ll check it with you before we start; we don’t take it for granted.

The till tells you what guests paid, not what you kept. Here is a one-page margin check on your most-suggested items, and why the big-ticket upgrade is often the weakest sale on the menu.
November is the one month a Mallorca owner has time to think. Here is the list to work through: sales by item, menu, team gaps and training dates, while there is still time to act.
A higher ticket medio after training proves little on its own. Here is how to compare fair periods, strip out price rises and see which servers and which moments of the meal actually changed.
