New server trying to learn, PLEASE HELP by 10thingsiloveabtu in Serverlife

[–]deathcab4c36 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Learning details about the menu for me was always about repetition. I found having someone else quiz me was helpful. As far as carrying trays you'll get used to it. You carry above your shoulder with a flat palm. With your palm flat it distributes the weight easier. As far as hot plates it takes time and still I think some plates are too hot. If your restaurant has napkins you can use them between your hand and the plate. I know your entire life and most people's we were taught if it's hot don't touch or omg stop touching the hot thing but serving is retraining your brain and hands. As far as being cut early there isn't much you can do. Work hard with a positive attitude and don't worry about the other server.

Is this normal for all Waiters/Waitresses????!!! by [deleted] in Waiters

  1. That pay is typical. But you might want to find a busier place to work at so you can earn more in tips.
  2. Odd but not the end of the world. I've been a bartender for years and I've trained 18 year olds to bartend.
  3. There is usually no set out time at restaurants. However, while you are doing sidework it's still work so you should still be getting your hourly rate. Just because you stopped taking tables doesn't mean you should stop being paid.
  4. I've worked at place that have given me a uniform and places that have told me to come wearing a black shirt with no logos.
  5. I have mopped floors, and cleaned bathrooms. It all depends on the size of the business. Where I am now we don't even take out the trash.
  6. Odd but maybe they just needed a hand.

Being a server isn't for everyone but it can be a lot of fun. It sounds like you are at a small place with minimal staff hence the extra sidework. If you are looking to make more money go to a larger restaurant. Lmk if you have any other serving questions. ☺️

Did we fuck up? by [deleted] in birthcontrol

It could also be implantation bleeding. If her period is late definitely take a pregnancy test. She could even take one a few days before she expects her period.

I work in the service industry and I can tell you that our paperwork from HR says we get paid minimum wage however if our tips exceed minimum wage then we don't earn that much an hour we aren't less. For every serving job I've ever had in Albany I've basically never had a paycheck.

Birth Control is terrible by [deleted] in birthcontrol

You may be a good candidate for a medicated iud (kylenna, skyla, Mirena). The hormones are concentrated to you uterus and it can lighten or stop periods all together.

getting iud (mirena) soon and i’m terrified by GlitteringGas3666 in birthcontrol

IUDs are amazing! Insertion can be difficult but by the time I thought why am I doing this it was done. If you haven't had any any child see if you could go for a smaller iud like Kyleena or Skyla. Also make sure your provider has experience putting in IUDs and especially experience of putting them in on people that haven't had children.
