I worked fast food for 6 years but I'm starting a waitressing job tomorrow so this was very insightful

Your stuff is spot on, sometimes as a busser I sit thru a shift and just have the most negative servers, complaining to the point I worry the guests will overhear. I chalk it up to them having a hard day, but jeeze.

I am a fresh grad. And started working on a restaurant 5months ago. Thank you for giving me more ideas on taking orders like putting numbers of the guest so that you know where to serve the food to the right guest who ordered that food.

[TheWaitersAcademy]

Hey guys, there is much more about taking an order and I am already thinking about part two of how to take an order! Any input will be very welcome!

Awesome Videos Brother...I had two server jobs 2013-2015, used trays. I am getting back into the restaurant business at the age of 40 to support my online business (digital marketing consulting) after finding your videos. I figured I will start at the fine dining level in NYC not using trays (I am a little nervous, yet confident), as a busser....optimize each a runner is work my way up to house. During this process, I will develop a digital marketing strategy for the restaurant to increase their clientele and strive. The Master Plan.
Thanks Again, Holler if you are ever in NYC.

This is so helpful. I like that you talk about every single step and don't leave anything out, basically telling us exactly how you do it step by step. I'm going to study this and try to follow it step by step. Do you have any videos on Banquet service and is it much different than regular service?

Fifty years ago, I worked at a famous Italian restaurant on East 56th Street in Manhattan. This is close to exactly how I was trained while trailing. I worked in the business for just a few years, but the discipline of note-taking, organizing information into sequential columns, circling variables, etc has stayed with me throughout my life and was extremely helpful in a spectrum of circumstances during a successful professional career. I hope many people follow your excellent advice. Keep up the good work!

You're a beautiful person and it shows you love what you do! Thank you for lighting my fire for our industry again!

[mdy.cwe]

I'm going for a trial shift today, first ever job! Thank you for the advice, it helped a lot :)

[hollyjenkins]

I’m starting my front of house apprenticeship next month and one of my biggest flaws is taking a food order and this has helped so much! I’ll be sure to put this to use, thank you :)

[atilanoiiiamores]

also take note of what the guest is wearing to send in the right order to the right person!
