Tips & Warnings
Try to bring people their check soon after they get their food. This will save the customer the trouble of asking or waiting around for their check. Wear good shoes. Shoes are very important when working in a restaurant. You are always on your feet and moving. Making your feet as comfortable as you can is very important.
Never argue with a customer. If the customer has a problem that you cannot resolve nicely, discuss it with your manager. Arguing with the customers will only make them more upset and worsen the situation.
