Working as a Server

Working as a server can be easy and can also be hard depending on the experience a person may have in the field. Working as a server can be rewarding in many ways, for example, if the customer is happy they may leave a nice amount of tip. Depending on where a person works depends on what extra duties a server may have. Since I work at IHop my side work varies from day to day and is really not hard to do at all. One day I may be responsible for filling the ice bends, as well as restocking the to go supplies. Keeping stock of condiments that are used on a daily basis is a must as well. This includes things like ketchup, A-1 sauce, hot sauce, Tobasco sauce, coffee (both regular and Decaf) and tea.

The only thing that I hate about serving is having to stand on my feet for long periods of time. I actually have to stand for 8 hours a day. Those who work nights have to do 12 hours a night. The thing I love the most about serving, is meeting new people and seeing the regulars come back often. If a place has good servers and food then more than likely the customers will keep coming back.
