DAY IN THE LIFE OF A WAITER

16:00 I start my shift by putting on my apron. My supervisors discusses the number of covers we have reserved for the night, and the section I will be working in.

17:00 I learn the specials for that night, its pumpkin soup again. I prepare my note pad for orders.

18:00 The first customers arrive and the supervisor has seated them in my section. I fill up their water glasses and tell them the specials while their drinks arrive. A few minutes later I take their food order and tell the kitchen.

18:30 The chefs tell me their entrée is ready, I get it and take it to them. More customers arrive and I take their orders.

19:00 I take a break and eat dinner while someone else covers my section.

19:30 The first customers have their desserts, so I check everything was all right with the food. Once the finish I ask whether they would like tea or coffee.

20:00 I present the customers will their bill. I got a big tip. I still have other tables to look after.

21:00 I have a 5-minute break. Then back to looking after my customers.

22:00 I finish my shift.
