> The California State Board of Guide Dogs for the Blind and the California
> Restaurant Association (CRA) have partnered to produce a tip sheet on best
> practices for restaurants to accommodate patrons with service animals.
>
> The intention behind the project was to provide clear, concise direction 
> to
> restaurant operators, so they can better understand how to serve customers
> who are accompanied by guide dogs, said Antonette Sorrick, executive 
> officer
> of the State Board of Guide Dogs for the Blind.

> Basic etiquette dictates that a host or hostess should only ask two
> questions of a service animal user: Is the animal requested because of a
> disability? What work or task has the animal been trained to perform?
>
> Tips for servers include:
> .When taking an order, always address the person, never an accompanying
> sighted person.
> .When delivering food, describe where items are being placed.
> .Upon providing the bill of sale, read the content of the check.
>
> Download the best practices tip sheet now.
