Good luck with the new job! I'll be glad if I can help!

Good look Hyper!

Good job, Mabel! Sign up for the Waiter Training Course and learn everything you need to know about waiting tables! www.thewaitersacademy.com/courses/waiter-training-course/

You are welcome, Zet!

Hi Arthur Brody, it's been a while! How is everything?

Mind Rules, thank you!

Glad to hear that GadgetHacks! Lot of luck with the new job!

@@TheWaitersAcademy Oh my name's Mohammad 😂 Thank you man :)

Welcome Mohammad!

Dilshod Tashov, you are welcome! It is not a waste of my time if I can help someone and plus I really enjoying doing it! So thank you for staying active! How is everything in Uzbekistan?

Everthing perfect I am in Abu Dhabi working as waiter

Yes, across from the palace! Is it busy during the summer or are you making vacations then?

Just ramadan busy then very quit season I am going to vacation on June

The summer there is very hot! Now I guess it is still okay! The season here is over! I am going on vacation tomorrow!

Thanks Gordana

yes it is!

Congrats on the new job! It won't be easy but you have a room to grow and start making much better money! Best of luck!

Thanks Mind Rules!

Thanks Riswan!

Marius Bila, you are welcome! Thanks for being a part of this community!

The Waiter's Academy thank you for the informational videos once again, I will try to put together what I've learned tomorrow at work and thanks again for the warm welcome! :) Have a good day sir!

Thanks Mariul Bila! You too have a nice day tomorrow and make a lot of money :)

Marius, we have all started as a busboys! Learn as fast as you can and move to waiting tables! I remember when I was making 5$ a day as a busboy...I was very happy :) Where do you work?

Marius, if you are in Austria and work legally you should not worry about losing this job! There is such a demand for good workers in Austria, you will find a job in the next hours and you will be happier! But you have a good plan, right now! Keep the job and keep learning as much about being a waiter as possible! Do you speak German? If not, you should learn that first! Then everything is going to be different! With language and experience you will find a better job in no time!

Thx

Vagner, watch the video about selling and up selling!

Hey, man, I am so happy for you! Great job! I know you will be a waiter soon and making good money! Best of luck and looking forward to hearing from you!

Congratulation! How did it go?

Thanks for the kind words Agelos and yes, I enjoy making those videos and I am extremely happy to receive comments as yours, because that motivates me to keep doing what I do! The etiquette requires that we wait till all of the guests are done with their meals before we start clearing the plates! There are exceptions off course and this is when a guests ask you to remove his plate, or guest pushes his plates to the edge of the table or start stacking plates on top of each other! Off course your manager might have a different view on this topic and if he says you clear and don't wait...this is what you do :)

@@TheWaitersAcademy Thank you for your advice my friend.

i usually clear bread,butter,dressings,salt,pepper,wine glases just before serving desert

Fica GTI, thanks a lot. We are waiting for all to be finished. Unless a guest from the table asks you to remove his plate, we are waiting for the last person to finish.

Thank you. It would be great if you can make video about etiquette when is time for guest to pay. For example when they are paying cash/debit card/credit card, how to present them bill, how to use waiter check holder, collecting tips and basically all usual scenarios when it is time to pay/present the bill.

Fica GTI, very good idea! I am sure I will get to it in the future. Unfortunately, I don't have enough free time to work on all the ideas you guys are giving me right now! I appreciate the input though and I will do my best to get it done! Thanks a lot!

I understand, thanks a lot anyway. I am starting to work as a waiter again and I find your videos really helpful. Keep up the good work!

after they are done with deserts or coffee i usually just say "if there isnt anything else you would like i will leave this here with you..no rush"

There are many people in your position! Don't worry! If you want the job and if you are determined to learn, work hard and create a good life for yourself, you will do just fine! One of my favorite authors Robert Kiyosaki has admitted to be scared of contacts with people when he was young, so he purposefully took a job as a sells man just so he can overcome his fears! It is all up to the person! But the good thing is that you self realize you are not very communicative and that somehow stops you from growing and developing all your talents! Work on it and this job is a perfect start! No other tip! Good luck!

At first, youll go above and beyond. Youll learn quick and find a way that works for you. Your pay determines what youll be responsible for. If youre making 8/hr or more, youll be expected to do more things than the average busser. The average makes 5.25 in Florida. Management will remind you of that. Bussing is easy, but its extremely difficult. For the first couple of weeks, itll take time for your body to adjust. Then, you find yourself working 10x as hard to impress management and move up. If you have the chance to food run/expo/host, TAKE the opportunity to gain more skills. Itll make you a better busser. It all comes with time and experience. Bussing is the bottom of the food chain. Expect the servers to take advantage of you. Expect your coworkers TO NEVER MOVE while youre carrying a heavy ass bustub/tray. I had a server tell me before if they had a choice, they wouldnt tip me out. Some servers are cool asf, others are not. Theyre not better than you. So, dont be afraid to say no. You are not a slave. Ive bussed at 2 rest. and I make 8/hr currently at a place on the beach. Its hard work. Long hours. For example, I worked 9 hours today outside on Fathers Day. Sometimes, I feel extremely overworked. Your pressured to bus as fast as you can in the way youre trained. The bustubs are so heavy it hurts my back when I pick them up incorrectly. Its all about endurance. Once youre good, youll prebuss tables, fill up drinks, help the servers, food run, ext which will all help you move up. Ooor, youll get lucky and maybe theyll make you a server within the year! (: Good luck! Its not all bad. There are good days and other days where I feel like a slave lol

Hi Rachel, that was as good answers as it gets! Thanks for helping others with wisdom and advice this is what this channel is all about! Good luck with the job and stay positive!

Very welcome, Kasumba!

Well, the rules are different at the different restaurant but for the good of your guests and for your own good as a team, you have to explain to the head waiter that you too should be able to talk to the guests in the mentioned occasions in the video!

head waiter dont want you cutting into his $ lol

:) exactly! I have a lot of those here. Scared that the busboy or the back up waitress will get a piece of the pie :) so is life!

Best of luck, Augusto!

lady, but you can also call them madam!

send me your email and I will register you! nedialkon@yahoo.com

Hi Liza, check this link www.google.at/search?q=table+settings&rlz=1C1CHBD_enBG756BG756&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=ExXChjn9vYlU5M%253A%252CQVPzA0DQxOk3aM%252C_&usg=__TCUVEBp_fco9pzSADzoPfy6ocTk%3D&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjOs57W2PjbAhUHG5oKHZHhDqcQ9QEIZTAO#imgrc=ExXChjn9vYlU5M:

Thank you

You are welcome, Liza

You will let them know that you are there to take the order but if they want to take their time, tell them to let you know when they are ready and let them be. -Ladies and gentlemen, I am prepared to take your order but if you need more time, please, take you time and let me know when you are ready to order, Thank you

@@TheWaitersAcademy You are right but i was told if they are not ready then i need to make them ready as they were turning tables very fast.

Through with your meal, not true!

@@TheWaitersAcademy love the content, I’ve just turned into a buster in Vegas

@@drew9846 Nice, best of luck! You are in my favorite city. Stay away from troubles :)

What do you mean, Martin? You just want any wine list?

No?

What exactly you want to see Chris?

What do you mean, Nick?

@@TheWaitersAcademy meaning that she would be listening to the husband and for a waiter to go to her she might missed what the husband is saying

How can I help you, Firoj
