My first nightmare as a waiter

[@Killtonyfan413]

Thanks so much for giving me some confidence for my new waiting job. I’ve been shadowing for 2 days and they said I’m doing good but I’m sooo nervous to carry the big trays myself with a lot of orders. 😟

[@TheWaitersAcademy]

You are welcome, Izzy Montana! Confidence is very important and the more you learn and the more practice you get the the more confident you will be! Give yourself time! You should know that mistakes are unavoidable and you will make mistakes and there will be some awkward and unpleasant situation! Don't get discouraged! Move on, keep working hard and keep learning as fast as possible!

[@jovannikolic8032]

@@MultiBomb Not as bad as my first day but i'm still relatively terrible. If i am bringing a soup the plate will definitely bw dirty on the sides especially since we have this really complicated soup that is filled almost to the top wuth a tiny piece of bread on top that barely holds on to the plate.. Other than that i can now carry it confidently if it's not very heavy, if it is i use my right hand as assistance. Anyways being a food runner is not much about bringing the food out at all.. Mostly i wipe plates, glasses, cotlary, etc.. I hate this job but it is what it is 🙃🙃🙃

Excellent video as always! It has been a true honor to follow and learn from your tutorials, and I was wondering if you could cover some more topics regarding the waiters in the Cafe section. I'm currently working in a very busy downtown Cafe and it's a preseason here, and I'm not really good with balancing and carrying a lot of drinks, such as multiple cups of coffee with cup trays with glasses of water for each and bottles for beverages (it's coffee madness in the morning), as I often see myself carrying around 2-3 table orders, usually around 3 people at each table, because there is always someone sitting down every minute, and all we have is a usual, waiter's tray for drinks that isn't even covered with with rubber to prevent sliding of drinks on the tray, so my question is: Could you make a video about covering tray and beverage carrying and balancing in depth, as I have a lot of problems carrying super heavy trays and balancing the beverages on it, as I know you are very experienced and skilled seasoned waiter. I know you focus mostly on the restaurant part, but I think this will help a lot of new waiters like myself who found themselves in the middle of the pre-summer season hell. I know the stuff I ask are pure basics, stuff waiters should be learned or taught from the beginning, but my colleagues are always super busy themselves, and we are always working with only one waiter and one barista each shift. (Plus waiters have to climb all the way to the first floor of the building to give the drink orders to barista, and carry everything down very narrow stairs in the downtown walkway where we have our tables set, so balancing and delivery is extra hard.) I apologize if you already covered in a video, since I did not watch all of the videos, just most of them. Covering these parts would be of much help to a lot of beginners I think, thank you very much for your time in advance :)

[@TheWaitersAcademy]

Teodora Galonja, thanks a lot fot the kind words, I appreciate that a lot. I have a video about carrying a tray with drinks but not in details like you ask. I am willing to do one more but i just landed in Barbados for vacation, so it will take some time. Meanwhile I hope you do great and just know that it gets easier with every other day :) so don't give up! Good luck and thanks once again for beeing so kind.

[@TheWaitersAcademy]

Teodora, cafe and tee video is coming up soon! I hope you are doing great!

[@joshualepretre3473]

Yes when he demonstrated that the fork fell off of the plate on to the table I have that happen often when I'm cleaning tables like sometimes some people put napkins on the plates and sometimes I'm not aware of the silverware that is underneath the napkin and when I go to grab the plate it'll tilt a little bit and if some silverware is underneath there it'll slide right out on the floor👍

Also how do you load the big tray so that there is equal weight distribution on the tray when it's on the stand?

It depends how many plates you have to put on it, do you put also bottles and glasses and many other things! If I have to carry only plates I use a triangle form it I carry three plates or square if they are four and they can fit all separate on the tray! But I can also stack it, if there are more plates and so on and so on. YOu will figure it out with experience!

Thanks for the video training sir, but I want to know, which hand is basically used to Carry strays... Is it the left or the right hand. Will be glad to hear the answear thanks.

[@TheWaitersAcademy]

Good question. In some countries they teach you in school that a waiter must carry the tray with left hand. For me this is wrong unless it is a food tray from which we serve the food with fork and spoon directly into the plates of the guest( English, Russian service) If we are talking about a tray with plates that you carry to the table I have always used my strong hand(right hand) and in USA this is the accepted way!

[@TheWaitersAcademy]

Drink trays are carried with left hand, since the drinks are served with right hand from the right side of the guest.

The first thing you should do is go to the free online course and complete it so you have a certificate at least! It is all free! Then get any job in any restaurant with the agreement that they will give you a chance to become a waiter when they see how hard you work and how good you are with the guests! This is the path! It won't be easy but it could be done! Once you get some experience in your country you can start looking for an international job! It doesn't work another way! Good luck! You can create your profile on the Waiters Network and who knows, maybe a company will need a newby and call you for a job! You have to try everything!

Although I wanted to know if it looks unprofessional to hold a food tray on your finger tips. Thanks again for replying. :)

Dimitris Theodoridis , the only thing you can hurt is your finger, since the trays are usually really heavy! I always recommend more style in anything we do, so if you can carry it like that do it, it is good impression!

You can use fingers carrying a tray only if you have lighter load, but with a heavy load like its so dangerous, accident may happen anytime, he is doing the correct way of carrying tray.

hello there and thank you for the video where i work, you have food and drinks ect on the tray BUT you have to unload it while you are carrying it. you don't put it on any stand or so first. and if you have for example 4 orders on one tray, you may have to unload drinks and food from different places of tray, not as you would like it but as the order says. so how do you do that? because if i hold the tray with my palm i simply CANNOT unload while still holding it. so i use my fingertips but it's too much weight and balance for a 57kg girl and after 3 weeks my fingers hurt really bad

Hi Demi, thank you for the question. There are places where tray service is not popular and then off course if you want to use the tray they don't have tray jack...and it is complicated, but you say that in your restaurant using tray is a common practice or even a MUST and you still don't have tray jacks!!!! That is completely insane! Does the management tells you that you should be able to serve plates and drinks from a food tray while holding it with your left hand? If that is the case I have nothing good to say about your managers :) but let be civilized and I would suggest that you ask them to provide tray jacks. Explain for them that the whole world is working with trays and tray jacks and that this is not only for your own good but for the good of you guests too! It is dangerous practice and I am myself avoiding it as much as possible! You can learn and do it but it is really difficult, take a lot of time and as I said it is dangerous! Second thing I will suggest to you is never to carry drinks and food on the same tray! that makes the situation even more complicated ... I can probably show you how to serve from the tray carrying it with your left palm but no restaurant should apply such a practice on first place anyway. it is better if you try to explain to your bosses that providing a tray jacks will make the service look more professional, not to mention faster and safer! Good luck to you! If nothing in your place changes let me know, I am going to make a video about your problem!

Honestly, if i show your answer to ANY greek employer, he would laugh his guts out!!!! And i am so not offending you right now. My logic of course agrees with what you are saying and from what i've read online, everywhere there is this tray jack suggested. BUT let me tell you something about the greek way of service ! There are NOWHERE tray jacks and we are OBLIGATED to serve while holding the tray ! And many times in an order that is not helping balancing at all! i am a girl and i have to carry a big tray with maybe 4-5 orders for different tables and i have to serve WHILE holding the tray, and without order. my first order may be in the middle, my second on the outer corner of the tray. i swear to god! and i am honestly telling you, i've been working since 16years old, my employer is amazing ! this is the greek reality. we always serve this way. so i guess we're crazy! and not only we serve this way, but MANY people are looking for even weirdest ways to hold the tray, just to show off, to make an impression!!!!! if you'd make a video on how to serve while holding the tray i would be really really grateful. i am doing it already, but my thumb and small finger hurt so bad i cant get out of bed using my hand. thank u so much for your answer

I feel nervous , tomorrow is my first mcdonalds tray serving

[@TheWaitersAcademy]

Carlo Delarosa, it is normal to feel nervous. It will probably go just fine though. Off course there will be mistakes and confusions but this is part of the game. Stay positive and concentrate. Everything else will fall in place with time. Good luck!
