Which type of restaurant is best for waiters? |
OK: I live in San Jose, CA and I'm thinking about getting a job as a waiter while in college. My city enjoys the full range of restaurants, from coffee shops to $200/plate top-of-the-line restaurants. I'd like to hear your thoughts on the best type of restaurant for waiters. Or put another way, which restaurant will give you the best tips for the best work environment? I'm open to trying any type of restaurant. My working theory is that ultra-upscale restaurants are kind of a drag because you have high-ticket bills, demanding customers and low table turnover. Chain diners are a drag because you work too hard, for bills that are too small, with too much table turnover. Is there a happy medium? A restaurant where customers are laid back, the bills are relatively high and you're pulling in good tips? Which type of restaurant is best for waiters? What's your experience been? Thanks, Sensational Luke I worked in an Italian place in TX over the summer while going to school and I did fairly well. I would also recommend maybe the school cafeteria on campus. I worked there too.It was not great money but it was free lunch and easy to get to work since I lived on campus too. A bit of advice: regardless where you work your personality makes or breaks you. If you are a people person, the jobs will come looking for you. If you are not, then your food service life can be very short lived. Good Luck!!!!!

Go with something with a blue collar clientele. Middle class people tip better than professionals! |
