My profession is called a waiter. My job is to lay the table, meet visitors, familiarize them with the restaurant menu, paying special attention to today's specialties. I have to comment on the dishes that are of interest to the client, inform about the time of their preparation and features, and, if possible and if necessary, recommend something. After the customers make their choice, I take the order and pass it to the kitchen. The tables served by me should always be in my field of vision, so that if the client wishes to make additions to the order, I can approach and complete the application without delay, followed by transfer to the kitchen or bar. When the order is ready, I give it to the visitor, you need to ask if everything is in order, if the client is comfortable and if he wants to order something else. P after the final formation of the order, I enter it into the order registration book, knock out a cashier's check, bring the check to the visitor, pay, ALWAYS say goodbye. After that, it is necessary to collect the dishes from the table and put the table in order. In the summer, work is mainly outdoors, since most prefer to take in the shade of awnings, in cold weather and in bad weather, work takes place indoors in the restaurant in the main or banquet halls. Most often, visitors are very sociable and communicative people, which is why my work brings me pleasure, I like to communicate with people. But the work also requires certain physical exertion, mainly on the legs, it is quite tiring. Our team consists of 6 waiters working in 2 shifts. All our employees have the qualities necessary for waiters, that is, politeness, sociability, with correct and clear speech, poise, attentiveness and a good memory, knowledge of psychology and understanding of the behavior and mood of customers, dexterity and quickness, and, of course, the ability to count well. In order to start working as a waiter, you need to get an education in the specialty "Organization of service at catering establishments", - undergo a thorough medical examination, - undergo an internship. My salary depends on the number of visitors to the restaurant, it is about $350-450 per month. Of course, if visitors are satisfied with the service, there is a chance to get a “tip”)). But not only material advantages in this profession. Our restaurant prepares dishes from different countries of the world for our visitors, and I have the opportunity to try and study the national characteristics and preferences of more than 10 countries, as well as the opportunity to communicate with their representatives, which improves the level of spoken English. In the future, it is possible to be promoted to a restaurant administrator, and the amount of knowledge and experience gained will be needed in life. That is why I chose the profession of “waiter”, so I do not hesitate to give my work a mark of “5?. 0
