A game of output

Real Server Training is geared more towards servers in higher-volume, semi-casual restaurants. This is the majority of restaurants and therefore applies to the majority of servers.

Much of our training is pragmatic —how to carry plates, interact with guests, etc – while some is more conceptual: how to manage your workflow and operate more efficiently.

Serving is largely a game of output – the more you can handle and execute, the more you can earn.

A better angle of approach

Neither of us claim to be the ultimate authority on serving, but we were both good at our jobs, made good money, and had a good time.

This is the general attitude that worked for us.

Let our training serve as a template and adjust as necessary to your specific restaurant, standards of service, and clientele.
