The classic "enhance your memory" trick is to memorize a series of objects or places until you can recite them in order: "Mirror, carrot, bathroom, kitten, overcoat, table, television".
Then associate the various elements of the presentation with those objects. "Hello my name is...." associates with "Mirror", "allow me to run you through the menu tonight" associates with "carrot", etc.
It's easier to remember the objects and associations than the whole script of the presentation.
Also, once you can run through the whole thing, or significant chunks of it, start doing it every chance you get. Run through it in the shower, driving your car, etc. Deliver it to your empty kitchen table as if it was a table you're waiting on. Then, if you really want to feel comfortable, fill the table with your friends, and deliver it three or four times to them.
