Graduated with a Bachelor's; I worked my way up into the fine dining industry in 6 years. My next position will be in management. I'd like to help people understand the daily stresses of the restaurant industry. As well, I'd like to help remove the stigma attached to being a server. You have a set of skills that most 9 to 5 companies require. You are a team player, a salesperson, and most importantly an elite guest relations manager. Make it a career track. Prove everyone wrong.

I just staged at a fine dining restaurant with an excellent reputation. I think it went well. Do I wait for their response or send a thank you email?

Asked by Nils over 11 years ago

 

I heard a study that showed that merely by SMILING more, a server's tips went way up even when the service was bad. Are there other small things you noticed that would affect your tips?
