How hard is it to get a perfect score (100%) from a Coyle fine dining shop?

April 30, 2017 10:37PM
Is it rare for Coyle to rate a fine dining shop report at 100%? What is considered to be a good score for them? I want to be selected for their hotel shops, but I am wondering if anything less than a 100% will prevent me from doing so.

If you follow their guidelines, a 100% is not hard.

I can never remember which companies want which format so I always get dinged for 'format' issues on reports. Like which companies want time reported as 1:03 pm or three minutes after one in the afternoon. Or which companies want a description such as Male, 5'10, mid thirties, short black hair, glasses, Hispanic or Male, 5'10, short black hair, glasses......

I'd rather have a little deducted (I got a 93% on my last Coyle lunch) than take extra time getting the perfect format for each company. I'm still going to be paid the same and time = $$$$

I get 100% on dinners more often than not.

I usually scored 91-93%. My work always is deducted for grammar mistakes. Nothing I can do with it. I am not even going to try to get 100%.

100% are pretty easy. However, I will warn you to read the feedback from their editors and why they scored low. I had one editor say I "did not meet 25% of the client's objectives" because we ordered a drink at the table. The guidelines clearly said to order cocktails at the table so I had to send her the guidelines and pointed out where it said that and she claimed she "misread the objectives" Either way, she fixed the score but beware editors feedback.

Yeah my first and only dinner shop was 100%. I'm pretty sure they were just being nice to a newbie. I immediately graduated to hotels and I've never looked back.

Do Coyle editors provide written feedback? The only feedback I ever get from them, if they provide any at all, is just a bunch of percentage ratings. They require such detailed narratives for their reports but don't provide any narrative with the report scores.

It's been over 2 years since I've had anything other than 100%. Follow the example. They are actually one of the easier fine dining jobs to write-up.

As soon as you 'graduate' to their hotel shops, you quit caring about the % rating.....

Sorry for opening an old thread but winemaker, can you elaborate on your last comment? I've done a few hotels and still care about my score. What am I misunderstanding?

That's not true. I still care about my % rating with Coyle. I get 93% and above on my hotel shops. They have a reference guide on their website that will help you.
