Server Jobs

Server jobs can be found anywhere that food is prepared for a customer base that dines within the restaurant or facility. Servers work as the liaison between the customer and kitchen staff, and are often the most prominent representative of the restaurant. The typical server job is to accurately receive the customer's order, which oftentimes includes menu substitutions or food particularities according to illness or taste, and give the instructions to the cook. The server also keeps the customer occupied with beverage orders while awaiting the food preparation. Once the food is prepared, the server brings it directly to the customer and ensures accuracy and satisfaction.

Most servers jobs are found by word of mouth, and many restaurants still post signs in the window when a server or kitchen staff is needed. Servers are generally given a below minimum wage base pay, with the understanding that they will receive 10-20 percent tips from the customers on the final bill. There is a chance to make better money through server bartender jobs, which either include or specifically handle the preparation of drinks for customers-as well as ensuring the patrons are of legal drinking age.

The typical server career is flexible in nature. It can be full-time, part-time, seasonal or a second job. Some servers in fine dining restaurants will work directly with the chefs on menu additions and specials, so that they can better convey the customer offerings. Servers also alert the kitchen staff of customer complaints and compliments, to help better serve the patronage.
