In restaurants, coffee shops, and other venues, waiters and waitresses take orders and serve meals. The level of service they provide influences whether or not a customer will return. This is because'service sells.' Customers will return if the waiters and waitresses are polite and helpful, even if the food is utterly unremarkable. 

Local diners, big chains, and upscale restaurants in large cities and vacation locations all have job prospects. The secret to success is always to put oneself in the shoes of the customer. 

Tips account for a significant portion of a waiter's or waitress' take-home income, and those who receive the highest tips are those who make their clients feel'special' by anticipating their desires and needs before they have to ask for anything. 

Waiters and waitresses may also undertake other activities connected with other food and beverage jobs, such as leading visitors to tables, setting up or cleaning tables, or handling the cash register, depending on the type of business. Waiting tables is more than just serving food; it is also about serving people.
