What Does a Waiter Do?

Answer:
A waiter works in food service, usually in a

restaurant. The word “waiter” has traditionally been used for a male server, although waitresses, or female servers, have the same responsibilities as waiters.

The alternative terms “waitperson” and “server” are becoming increasingly popular. Waiters are responsible for ensuring the continued satisfaction of customers at a restaurant, answering questions and bringing food.

Waiters begin by greeting customers once the host or hostess seats them at a table. After explaining about the specials, a waiter typically asks for drink orders first, then progresses to appetizers and entrees. After the waiter takes the order, he relays the order to the kitchen. When each course is ready, the waiter brings the food to the customer's table. When customers are finished eating, waiters offer dessert menus. Waiters should not rush customers but should notice as soon as customers are finished so the dishes can be cleared.
