15 Server Tips & Tricks | How to Make the Most Money!

[@viclovatsis]

ANOTHER TIP FOR FEMALE SERVERS!!!! When serving hetero couples, I make most eye contact and put more of my attention towards towards the girlfriend/wife!

[@YanickDoesLife]

E E yessss! Always lol

[@doinithard79]

That may be true because female waitresses that give me most attention. My lady has an "indirect" attitude but when they address my lady most of the time, then she says, Daddy tip her more.

[@ToxicButterfly_91]

Same!!!! Lol

[@doinithard79]

Also when serving gay couples (lesbian specifically) yes they exist... tend more to the feminine one, when asking if anything is needed(the eye contact). Even if the more "masculine " replies. (Same as with hetero couples)

[@addisonkyler5555]

YES

[@amber2349]

Deadass!!! The part when you go home then you remember you was suppose to bring ranch to a table 😂

[@liahbooker3900]

YES

[@goodnessnjokuaustin6784]

Omggg factss

[@janedoe-tz3zh]

[@pgperezlife32]

😜 that sux, don't stress too much. The guest probably just asked someone else for ranch.

To new servers: Stay humble. You are no better than the busser or dish person.

Stacy Thomas yet we make 4x their money

[@katiekelly8911]

We're all a team in this industry, no part can work without the others there. It's really important to remember this.

[@Troutlick]

also to new servers a great tip for beverages is to not say anything related to the word drink or beverage!! Use specific suggestions to avoid them just ordering water!!

[@Abcdefghijk920]

And respect your host. Piss them off and you will feel it.

i'm about to start serving and i have social anxiety but i've been hosting for a year and a half and its helping me be more open with people. i'm actually excited about it!

[@Acebb9911]

[@bettleboo]

[@amiyahlovings3686]

That'sSoBeki let us know how you do. I really want to be a server or a hostess to become more open with people.

[@hillibilli]

I really like the sticker idea! I have a ton of different colored pens for my customers to choose from when they sign their receipts. I ask what their favorite color is and they always look a little confused but when I show them that I have a pen in that color for them to use they always get a big smile and are in a much better mood regardless of how my service was or how their day went.

[@miriaaa]

I used to do this until one time I couldn't get a tip left for me because it wasn't in "blue or black ink" since the signed receipt is technically a "legal document." So just be careful.

[@zoeriley13]

Maria def gunna use this

[@AlexisTwoLastNames]

Maria just ask your manager first lol. every place i have worked at doesn’t care

[@taylorangulo4648]

Thats a great idea.

[@rachelramos9810]

[@cskillzkchitt]

Be careful with up-selling. You always need to be transparent about an up-charge. I’ve learned from experience people get upset when the check comes and they didn’t know they were paying for something extra.

[@SSlickmyballs]

Pro tip!!!!

[@meltzity]

well where i work the customers know what things usually are cus the prices are on the menu just saying but i know at all places it isn’t the same

[@lewisletthedogsout9020]

I had a lady yell at me bc it was an upcharge for a refill on her daughter's chocolate milk. Ma'am, that is on the menu, plus it's like that everywhere!! I dont understand, if you're unsure, ask abt refills or refer to the menu 🙄

[@melanienelson830]

Thats why i hate upselling cause then i say but oh its extra and people get those nasty salesperson vibes which i think negatively effects my tips. Dessert and drinks are the best way to upsell and easiest imo

[@lewisletthedogsout9020]

Since it says it on the menu, I typically dont ask. I've been told to do that to help with your sales since the guest should already know if.

[@Relaxing_fun]

I hate when I snap at host because I was a hospo for almost two years but when they triple seat me or seat out of section and don’t ask or let a server know to get that table I can’t stand it

[@tacticaljuggernaut4866]

Im a host too, servers dont realize if they treat us badly, they dont make as much money, cause we will avoid seating them, and where i work hosts are the bussers too so we will avoid bussing and seating rude servers tables 😂

[@danielleweiss2993]

TacticalJuggernaut i 100% seat the servers i like more, i don't do it on purpose tho, but where i work they're suppose to pre-bus and just grab the plates , literally all the servers i like help bus their tables

[@persceptionb7666]

As a fellow waitress, your tips are definitely A1. I most certainly stand by looking your best when serving. It will definitely take your tips a long way. I made a 100.00 dollar tip off a 50 dollar tab.

But I tried all these tips yesterday and boy oh boy it made a difference. I worked a double shift on Tuesday and I made more money than I had on my double shift Saturday. I'm baffled at how great this helped. All of my tips were 20% or more, one tip was $40 on a $50 tap!!! I cannot thank you enough

Theyll be better with when you're down food or need a remake. Theres a server that always gets into it w the cooks, so she usually waits and her tips will sometimes suffer, whereas I do the, "sir, may I speak," and they are so much more prompt and helpful to me.

I've been serving/bartending for over 30 years. your video is so informative, I love it! I work at a place that employs A LOT of brand new servers. I think it's a rule or something. just kiddin. but seriously, Most of the new hires have no experience which makes me extra appreciative of your video as most have not grasped these concepts yet and watching your video will only reinforce what we more experienced servers have been trying to get them to understand. my boss, the sweetest, hardest working lady I know, asked all the wait staff to watch this, pick a fave, then discuss the tips and tricks with her. job very well done, yanni. thank you!

[@candyhoops3332]

Great tips! Especially on the friending cooks and hostesses. You definitely don't wanna piss off the people making your food and seating your tables. I think I'm one of the only servers that does tip out the hostesses on a busy weekend morning. If you're super busy with tables that also means they are super busy as well, and they will be more likely to help you bus your tables and get drinks for them if they know you actually appreciate it. The only thing I feel like you missed a point on is on the dessert offering. We serve a shit load of pie and cake at my work and one thing I've noticed is try and ask your tables about dessert before they are finished eating. They are more likely to save room for dessert when you put the idea in their head sooner. Otherwise if you wait until they are finished eating chances are they are already full and probably don't want dessert at that point. Usually when they are a little over half way through their meal I will say "don't forget to save room for pie today" and always remind them they can take it home with to enjoy later.

[@YanickDoesLife]

Great tip! If the portions at my job weren’t already huge for apps and entrees and even sides we’d prob sell more desert. But we already bring out huge plates and people go “ohh I’ll definitely need a to go box”😂 the struggle.

[@nicholasjames695]

Variation on #6- let's say your job doesn't offer appetizers (like the restaurant I work at) let your guests know about your soup options (or salads) before they think about their entree. If you can add on a bowl or cup of soup or salad before they order it's just as effective plus if they order something that is a "dip check" or a pre-made entree you dont have to worry about anything coming out late.

[@jakexcalibur1583]

you can also suggest an entree as an appetizer. by that i mean, an entree that is not labor-intensive or an entree that can be split/shared by the table. if no appetizers are offered by the establishment, an entree-sized salad might be a good substitute. if appetizer-sized salads are on the menu, then take into consideration your price points, then you'll have a better idea of whether or not that particular suggestion would be worth while.

Super short handed at work today. I Got ZERO tip on an almost $40 bill, even though I apologized genuinely, and his food came out super quickly. They were just old farts..but that sticker tip!! GORL!! I am def going to buy myself a little book of stickers. Fantastic idea!!

Thank you. These are good tips and tricks for upping your tips and they aren't necessarily the kind of things that come up in training a new server. But since I'm trying to be a good manager I'm going to include them in our server training from now on so they can make better tips. I will give you credit, of course, and hopefully you'll gain some new followers. The guests are happier which makes me happier. Everybody wins!

I worked my first trial shift last weekend and i start the job this saturday, i'm really nervous about it but this video really helped me out so thank you. :D

[@galaxycrown6371]

I just applied for my first ever job to be a server and I'm excited! I hope your tips help so I can save for college

[@Amalia2Dubstep]

I'm definitely going to do these tonight. Unfortunately I work at iHop the overnight shift so it's not crazy busy already and people are horrible tippers in my area. But I know it's also me being new and my first week ever serving. Hopefully these work and I make a bit more!

[@007isha4]

I have worked in hospitality for 10 years and I am making the transition to bartending and serving. These tips are extremely helpful 👏 thank you 😊 I just need to work on my makeup game next!

[@LNFelts]

Im coming back from a break of 5 years to serving. Ya did well for older people coming back and new. Ty! I would totally set a tray up for someone like you. GG.

[@YanickDoesLife]

Good luck! I did the same thing. I took a break to go into management and had to keep reminding myself so I figured I’d help others out!

[@TheWaydeGang]

Thank you mama. Your helping me get back into the serving swing after I worked healthcare for 2 years. Smart pointers

[@vanessacosme2233]

Girl you NEED to make more videos like this!!!! So helpful I love itt!!!

[@nenidlc3954]

Girl this were all so good, I have an interview and have zero experience but all of these were logical if that makes senses. Thank you!!!

[@katiecagle8057]

I’m starting my first serving job next week and I was so nervous but this video helped me! I’m def going to use all of these tips!! If anyone else has any other tips for me, please comment and let me know!! I need everything I can get lol

[@victoriahill4568]

I couldn’t add one single thing to this as I agree with each point! Someone below mentioned the upcharge and that’s an excellent Point, always disclose the upcharge and offer options.

[@natedornbirer]

I'm in fine dining. These tips are on point. I have so many anxiety serving dreams, it's stupid.

[@YanickDoesLife]

Nate d90 that’s everywhere sometimes I just had dreams of regular shifts. But you can’t escape it lol

[@thetraveler0386]

The be nice to the BOH(there are no hosts in a dine-in theater) bit, really saves my ass so many times on busy days, because my stuff is usually the first to be made, so I can send it out and have peace of mind so I'm not scrambling around when customers are missing something.

[@amber.4383]

I've never been a server, and I'm about to work at a super fancy place . omg lol

[@badedits7396]

Me too I start tomorrow.. how did it go? I’m so nervous lol

[@hannahrose6724]

Nah it’s true I wore make up one day looked really nice and got up to $100 in tips. I was still training so I know my service wasn’t the best. 😅

[@cheyenne1082]

my problem is that my make up literally DISTRACTS the dinners 😂 they always wanna chat for like 5 minutes about what palette i use- and then boom. i done forgot to send the order to the kitchen 😂

[@YanickDoesLife]

😂😂 batter those lashes to smooth them over

[@rebekahtrader3913]

Finally moving from food running to serving tonight (tonight’s trivia night, our busiest night) and girl I’m SO NERVOUS. Since I’ve already been working there for a few months they didn’t really train me and this video is SO HELPFUL. Thank you so much I’m less nervous and actually excited for tonight 💕💕

[@YanickDoesLife]

How’d it go??? If it wasnt the best don’t worry, you’ll get more comfortable over time!

[@aleksandramorka758]

I love the tips and your vibe! Gurl, thank youuu. I'm starting on Wednesday and feeling much more confident

[@whatintarnation1230]

i needed this, i’m 13 and working at my local lakes diner and i’m nervous bc the owner is nervous about having me work because i will be the youngest worker she’s had, but i’m just gonna do a really good job on the first day so she wants we to come back

[@LucianaPeck]

just finished my serving shift tonight, exhausted haha and this was in my recommendations! great great tips girl!❤️

[@samlittle2475]

Been a server for over a year now, and recently landed a new job at a pub. Watched your video to help prepare me for my first shift this week, and girl you have some real good advice!! Thank you!!

[@emmalouise9536]

I start my waitress job tomorrow and my social anxiety is going MAD

[@krissy0914]

Girl I’m trying to go get my first waitress job and this was the best video ever thank you so much!!

[@maichatorres7458]

I’ve been a host at Applebees. Next week I start as a server at Olive Garden. I’m so nervous I have to study the menu, and I have to practice with the carrying trays and balancing everything on the trays. I’m literally sitting here writing down these tips thank you so much ❤️

[@YanickDoesLife]

You got this!!!!! I always warned people that I was new to serving and they were very forgiving!

[@marissafair450]

Best of luck ! I hated Olive Garden. A lot of hard work with little recognition tip wise and compliment wise.

[@padraig5335]

It's easy once you get it

[@aegontargaryen219]

Starting my first serving job tomorrow & I’m so excited, thanks for the tips!

[@andreamarroquin7605]

[@nicolepalmer9795]

Thanks girl! I just got a serving job on the side bc having a full time job still doesn’t cut it 😅 mama needs that moneeeyyy!

[@anjadikeman264]

Awesome advice! I am nice to everyone everywhere I go and yes it pays off over and over. I am not a server, but I serve because I am a bartender and pick up tables, if it gets too busy for the servers. I found this video, because I have not been a server for a while and want to do a much better job.

[@Enheritance]

Omg this video helped me so much. I just started my sever job and I was so nervous my first day. These tips have really helped me so much! I’m getting used to multi tasking. 😂
