You said supervisor. The FOM is pretty clear about your role as Captain. Be one.
That doesn't mean ordering them to serve. It does mean pushing back when they are calling about it being "too rough to serve" when in smooth air or occasional light chop. Same goes when they call you to tell/ask you to turn on the belts to give them an excuse to not do the service.
