What should you do if an item is not from your table but needs to be sent back for a recook?

When an item that does not belong to your table needs to be sent back for recooking, the correct action is to send it back and inform the server. This procedure ensures that the issue is handled promptly and efficiently, maintaining the restaurant's service standards. Informing the server is crucial as they are responsible for the table's orders and can communicate effectively with the kitchen staff about the specific issue with the food item.

Sending back the item without notifying the server could lead to miscommunication, where the server may not be aware of the problem and cannot take the necessary steps to resolve it. This action also helps in keeping track of the restaurant’s overall food quality and guarantees that the guest receives a satisfactory meal, which is a central part of the customer service experience at Texas Roadhouse.
