Our First Visual Guide: Being A Great Waiter!

The Big Picture Guides is proud to announce the release of our first book, the Visual Guide to Being A Great Waiter!

This book is the result of many hours of work and hundreds of photos taken to provide nothing but practical steps and advice on how to be a waiter or waitress as well as ways you can earn better tips.

Collaborating with us on this project was Carter Lee. Carter is an author, public speaker, and columnist for the Washington Times Communities. He has over a decade of knowledge of the restaurant industry, having worked every position starting as a bus boy and working all the way up to manager. His experience started as a teenager at a local chain restaurant and finished with being one of the best waiters at one of the top steakhouses in the country.

We were fortunate enough to pry out of him all his best secrets and tactics for serving to some of the most demanding customers around. The Visual Guide to Being A Great Waiter is packed with techniques and tricks to always keep your guests happy. You’ll earn more tips in no time!

Carter will soon be releasing his own powerful book, When Jonathan Cried For Me, which details his life journey and self-transformation. We strongly encourage you to learn more about this at his website, WhenJonathanCriedForMe.com.

We will soon be announcing and releasing our forthcoming visual guides over the next few weeks. In the meantime, we are happy to have this one under our belts. We know this visual guide will be of great value to anyone who is either interested in working in the restaurant industry or is already there.

Also, if you haven’t already, feel free to sign up for our newsletter and get our free Visual Guide to PC Internet Security! This book is fantastic for any beginner- or intermediate-level computer user to secure their computer for free!

Best Wishes,
Chris and Laura

Our Grand Opening!

After months of collaboration, preparation, and a ton of really hard work, we are so happy to announce the grand opening of The Big Picture Guides!!

Our business started as an idea that popped into Chris’s head about a year and a half ago.  It’s been a long journey making that idea become a reality.  At first, the idea sat on the back burner for awhile, but Chris couldn’t help thinking on it constantly.  By the time his idea had become fully fleshed out, Chris and I had stumbled upon each other (much to our delight!).  With me at his side, we began to work together to finally transform his idea into an actual business.

Chris made the website (a feat I haven’t the foggiest idea how to accomplish), and from there we began to create our first Big Picture Guides.  The first photo shoot went shakily, but toward the end, we finally began to gain a better grasp on what we needed to do.  Our next shoot was much more fruitful; with the help of a couple amazing friends, we were able to capture the bulk of the photos we needed to develop our first major visual guide.  Unbeknownst to the both of us, creating this product would take weeks straight of doing little else besides holing up in Chris’s office to work on the book.

Somehow, we managed to have a blast together through all the hard work, and we are so proud of our finished products!  We hope you enjoy and benefit from them, and sincerely thank you for taking part in our grand opening by showing interest in our new business!

Cheers,

Laura (and Chris!)
