The Importance Of Being A Good Waitress

Spradley and Mann chose to do their research at Brady’s bar because it is an ordinary setting where they could study interactions between male and female. First, Brady’s Bar provided a setting to define the female role. Secondly, it is a place where both male and female interactions are important and reflect traditional aspects of larger society. Lastly, the traditional aspects of Brady’s signified the traditional view of how women should present themselves as passive sex objects whose status is of lower hierarchy than men.

As a recent employee in the restaurant industry, first as a hostess and later as a waitress, I have had the opportunity to experience the system of tipping not just from a customer’s point of view.

When we had finished the dinner the waitress brought a bill, which costs me an arm and a leg.

It was June 1967, when my father quit his job as a mechanic and opened a restaurant in Chicago. Being the youngest of eight children (one which died prior to my birth), everyone in the family had to help out in order to make the restaurant a success.

When we got some problems, such as customer complains. For example, one customer ordered one fish & chips. The special order from that customer was no chill, but one front staff didn’t mention it to us. So we served it normally than the customer complained it. We told the staff who got that order to apology to the customer. We offered one soup to the customer during waiting new fish & chips. As result of that the customer accepted our prompted acts.

In most restaurants in the United States, waiters receive a large portion of their compensations through tips from customers. Generally, the size of the tip is decided by the customer. However, many restaurants require a 15% tip for parties of eight or more. Using concepts from organizational architecture, discuss

It’s always nice to go out to eat, order a nice meal that you do not have to cook and be served everything you want. When going out to eat, have you ever thought about the person that is serving you food, getting you drinks, and making sure you have a pleasant experience at the restaurant of your choice? That person is a server. He or she is a waiter or waitress. I’ve gone out to eat a lot, and I’ve always been a little curious what is like to be the person serving the food and not eating it.

Also, when a waiter has all this cash in their pocket after work and home is twenty minutes away, it is very convenient to not have to go all the way home to change completely before going out for the evening.Working at a restaurant is also a very laid-back occupation. Not very many jobs enables an employee to interact with so many different people.

They expect me to be patient, clear with orders, not demanding, and aware of what is going on. I must know what food they just told me was done and where to take it, but first I need to pay attention to hear when my name is called. There is usually more tension between the kitchen and waiters than there is with any other workers. The roles are so different. The kitchen staff usually looks at servers as just wanting to get a good tip, and that we do not care the extremities the kitchen has to go to for us. It is important that servers respect the kitchen staff; they are in charge of the food we will be serving. “Servers, as mediators, need their food when their customers demand it: sometimes this is before the food is ready; at other times after. If servers demand food too early, cooks are stressed; but if they don’t pick up the food on time, the food is poor and the cook seems incompetent.” (Fine 105). This is the most true on Friday and Saturday nights. Everything seems to be more chaotic on these nights, since most people decide to go out. This is good because it brings in more business for the restaurant, but then there are always more unhappy customers on these nights as well. Overall, positive interaction with the kitchen staff can make amazing things happen.

smile, give eye contact, make sure everything was in the customer’s bag, make sure they received the proper change (if any) and make sure I gave them a receipt. Most of the time, the atmosphere was relaxed but could become busy during special promotion times. I enjoyed my time at the restaurant chain because management was always available and the employees were pleasant.

When you eat at a restaurant, first the waiter must ask you if you want water and a starter later on, he/she comes and asks if you picked your order yet if so you would order but

Looking back, I can still recall the countless days that I spent in my family's restaurant. For twelve hours every single day of the week, I spent the majority of my time alone at a corner table. My mom was always occupied with leading the stream of faces, pouring through the doors, to their tables and attending to their needs. On the other hand, my dad would be busy operating the large woks, rounded cooking pans, over scorching red flames in order to keep the food trays in front of the kitchen doors filled. Even though my parents were always around me, I had to spend most of my time by myself. I would spend the dull lengthy periods I had doodling on menus, building with Legos and crafting action figures out of eating utensils and rubber bands. Although I came up with many activities to shorten the long days, my constantly changing thirst for entertainment could not be quenched. I remembered one day; I ran into the back of the restaurant to complain to my dad. I told him that the parents of other kids have jobs as well, yet they still spend time with their kids. and, it was not fair for me to have my parents to say that they were too busy to see my drawings and praise my creations. Fatigued and sweaty, my dad briefly stepped back from the heat of the woks and said, " make use of the opportunities that you have now so that you won't regret it in the future". Not surprisingly, I was a dumb little kid and I stormed out of the kitchen with clenched fists, teary eyes, red face
