What is a Barista/Waitress?

Be our guest! Sure, server's don't typically sing Disney songs to their customers but they do make sure customers get their food as soon as it's ready.

Once you've been serving for awhile, you may be able to impress your guests with taking their food order without writing the orders down. As long as you get the entire order correct, this may score you a nice tip.

Not everyone is going to enjoy their dining experience though, and whether it's your fault or the chef's fault, it is your responsibility to correct any problems. Don't worry, you can go yell at the chef later.

Waitresses take food and beverage orders, typically in dining establishments. You don't need a lot of formal education to be a waitress, but you'll receive some on-the-job training. If you want to secure a lot of tips, you may want to brush up on your customer service.

Some waitresses depend on a notepad to make sure the orders come out right, fewer waitresses are able to memorize everyone's order. Even if the waitresses jotted down or memorized the order perfectly if there is a mistake with the food, they're the first to blame.

As a waitress, you'll probably have to deal with a lot of "hangry" people but, hopefully, once they've eaten, they'll be in a much better mood and leave a nice tip. There will undoubtedly be times that you have to deal with difficult customers, it's those days that make this job stressful.

As a server and hostess, your job is to do everything except cook. You greet guests and show them to their table, you take food and beverage orders, and you might even clear off some tables. You're definitely a team player.

A server and hostess may keep unusual hours, ranging from super early morning to super late night. You might even work a few weekend shifts from time to time. And don't be surprised when you get called into work on Thanksgiving. Not everyone likes their family and turkey and prefers a night out.

As a server and hostess, you'll probably receive some tips from customers, as long as you get their orders right and provide them with excellent customer service. Still, some customers will never be happy, no matter how hard you try and those customers will make the workday seem really long.
