Please don't direct me to another site. I want tips from people in the field. this is my first time, I have bussed tables, was a hairdresser, and cashiered. I already know keep a smile and your home life at home not in the workplace. so I need help from some pros.
Firstly,and the most important rule: TRY NOT TO DROP ANYTHING!! U do that and it knocks your confidence.
Be confident within yourself on the exterior,even if on the inside you're utter mush. try and take any criticism constructively (it can be hard,but if coming from bosses or colleagues,they are trying to help you. If from customers then learn from experience).It's bloody hard going,but absorb every bit of information you're given,as this proves when your trial is up that you are worthy of being kept on.
Oh,and if youre female and the shirt is white,wear a vest top under it.Sounds daft but its better not to show too much(especially as white is see thru!)..Smile even when you want to cry,try not to be rude even if you want to punch someone,think of it as a new adventure that you're going to make the most of..
GOOD LUCK!
You don't know what you got yourself into.
Waiters/waitresses are slaves.
Get out of there as soon as possible!
First pay attention to your tables, don't hover or annoy, but be visible and check in now and then for water/coffee refills, etc. Next know the menu backwards and forwards, and any daily specials and be ready to explain them in detail. be quick and check the food, make sure it's complete nothing missing from the order. do not keep them waiting for their food or the check. be neat and clean and do not wear perfume. Make sure your hair is up in a bun, a ponytail, but off your face and your uniform is clean.
Keep makeup to a minimum.
I start training tomorrow for waiting tables any tips?
