Waitress Job Description -Typical Shift

A typical shift starts with the waiter or waitress clocking in.  After doing so you will then want to check in and talk with the manager and/or lead server.  During this time you will want to find out if there are any large group reservations, specials or menu changes.  You will also want to find out what section you will have.   After this,  make sure that your section is set up.  You will also want to be sure that everything is stocked and ready to go.   Most restaurants have a checklist that is required for employees to complete before and after their shift.

Once your section is  setup, it’s time to start taking tables and serving guests.  Typically a host will seat the guests and then notify the server on duty.  This is the server’s cue to go over to the table, greet them and then explain more about the different menu items and restaurant style. (See paragraph 2).  The server will then take a beverage order from the guests. (See paragraph 3).  Once waiters have taken the guests’ beverage order they will enter it in the POS computer under the correct table number and in the correct order in which the guests are sitting. Once the waiter, waitress or the bartender have the drinks ready, the duties of the waitress include delivering them to their guests.  The server can then ask them if they would like to start with a suggested appetizer and/or take their order.  Once again, the waitress duties include entering the food orders in the same order that the guests are sitting.

While waiting for the table’s food to be ready, the server shouldn’t be sitting around.  Instead, the waiter or waitress will check on their other tables to make sure that they have full beverages, remove any dirty dishes from the table and make sure that they are enjoying their experience.  If all of this is completed, they should check with other waiters and waitresses to see if they need any help with their duties.  Remember, restaurant life is like a big family; hostesses, kitchen staff, waiters and waitresses should all help each other with each other’s duties!

Throughout the shift, waitress responsibilities include making sure that the designated server station is clean and fully stocked.  Those responsibilities include filling napkins, rolling silverware, preparing to-go boxes, refilling the ice bin, polishing glasses and silverware as well as any other duties that come up throughout the shift.

Once the guests have finished up with their main entrees it is the servers responsibility to offer the guest a dessert, coffee, and/or after dinner drink.  Once everyone at the table is finished, the server will ask them how they would like the bill to be split.  Then the server will split it as needed and deliver it to the table.  Good waiters and waitresses resume their other duties and don’t rush the guests.  The server will return shortly to process their credit card or make change. To retain customers for return business, the server should thank the guests for dining at the restaurant and tell them they look forward to seeing them again.

Remember, every restaurant may have a different waitress job description so it’s important to read up on your prospective employers, so that you know exactly what waitress duties and responsibilities are required for the restaurant for which you are applying.  This website is your source for server job descriptions and resumes.  Read more about how to land the perfect restaurant job as a waitress.
