What should be confirmed when delivering a drink order?

• A. Color of tablecloth.
• B. Guest's seating.
• C. Glassware and timing.
• D. Number of napkins.

Answer: (C)

When delivering a drink order, the key thing to confirm is the correct glassware and the right timing. Confirming the glassware ensures the guest gets the drink in the appropriate vessel, which affects temperature, presentation, and overall drink experience. It also helps the bar and server stay aligned on garnishes or special rims that may be requested, so there are no mismatches between what was ordered and what arrives. Confirming timing makes sure the drink is served promptly and in sync with the guest’s pace and any upcoming courses, so it stays at its best and doesn’t arrive too early or too late.

The other factors listed—color of the tablecloth, guest seating, or the number of napkins—relate more to table setup or comfort rather than the specifics of delivering a drink. They aren’t the things you need to verify to ensure the drink reaches the guest correctly and at the right moment.
