Servers of the World

Little bits of daily wisdom for all those in the service and hospitality industry. And rules to live by for those who aren't.

Nothing reminds you the regular season is irrelevant like the St. Louis Cardinals!!!

Got a party of 60? Try catering the meal or a banquet hall. Don't take up an entire restaurant...your costing a lot of people money...

If you're going to camp at my table all night, at LEAST compensate me for it. Shame on you if you don't.

[Servers of the World @WaitingWisdom]

Patience can help diffuse any tense situation.

[Servers of the World @WaitingWisdom]

Please, please, PLEASE say please and thank you. Servers are people too.

[Servers of the World @WaitingWisdom]

To be a truly great server, you have to be able to read people almost instantly.

[Servers of the World @WaitingWisdom]

Don't like your entree? Let your server know, and they'll fix it. Don't insult the restaursant or the cook while you do it, though...

[Servers of the World @WaitingWisdom]

Everyone make mistakes. Even Servers.

[Servers of the World @WaitingWisdom]

Gotta love it when your server/bartender remembers your drink... #greatservice

[Servers of the World @WaitingWisdom]

Looking to avoid the meal rush? Come early or late...otherwise expect to wait!

[Servers of the World @WaitingWisdom]

Dining out alone? Why not try the bar? You don't have to drink, and it might give you someone to talk to. Or to leave you alone.

Got a #coupon for your meal? Great! Just make sure you calculate your Tip based on the FULL bill.

[Servers of the World @WaitingWisdom]

Also, probably a bad idea to bad-mouth the restaurant you just had a great experience dining at...in front of your server. Just saying.

[Servers of the World @WaitingWisdom]

If you order extras one at a time, your server WILL be frustrated with you. Anticipate your needs, and let your server know.

"Servers", NOT "Servants" #diningetiquette

"All you can eat" is not a challenge.

"So, while 47% of Americans say they'd like restaurants to offer healthier items, only 27% tend to order those foods..." ~AP

Also, the larger your party, the more reason you have to wait.
