- Just a reminder about the use of the term “waiter” December 3, 2009For the new people who have arrived at the blog, I just want to say that I use the term waiter for both sexes. Waitress can have certain connotations, negative and positive, but I think that waiter connotes more of an image of professionalism (unfairly or not). Yes, even that perception of an air of professionalism stems [...]teleburst
- From The Wall Street Journal – Financial trader moves to waiter December 1, 2009A Finance Executive Walks Away to Work His Way Up From Waiter By Dawn Falik “Scott Gould went from trader to waiter—by choice.

October was 12,185, and September was 11,304. As you can see, momentum is growing steadily, especially considering that August was only 5,591. I’m gla […]teleburst

- Out of the box idea for waiters with extensive wine lists November 30, 2009If you work in a restaurant that has an extensive wine list, you might consider starting an in-house “wine club”. Waiters can chip in X-amount each “meeting” to purchase several wines off of the list for comparison tasting. You might be able to buy the bottles directly from your own stock at cost, but this could also [...]teleburst
- End of the month post November 29, 2009Well cats and kittens, it’s time to remind you that at the end of the month, the smart waiter takes a really close look at the uniform. Are the shoes on their last legs and are your pants cuffs starting to fray? How about those shirt collars – piling and stained from the sweat of your [...]teleburst
- Gifts for waiters – pt. 4 November 29, 2009Get access to your favorite waiter’s wine list where he or she works. Establish a dollar amount that you want to spend for a gift. Let’s say that you want to give them a $100 gift. Either buy multiple bottles whose retail prices total that amount, or buy one bottle that equals that amount. The first way [...]teleburst
- Gifts for Waiters, Pt. 3 November 28, 2009These fall under the “nice to have” category. These days, few waiters are called upon to light cigarettes and cigars. In the old days, a lighter was an indispensible tool that every waiter carried. Even today, it’s considered a mandatory tool if only to light a candle on a birthday or anniversary dessert.
