Waiter and Waitress Classes

Waiters and waitresses, also called servers, take orders and serve food and beverages to customers in a dining establishment.

They may meet with managers before each shift to discuss the menu and any new items or daily specials, review ingredients, or talk about any food safety concerns. They also discuss coordination between the kitchen and the dining room and review any customer service issues from the previous day.
