Despite tired feet, unruly guests, and job demands, there are many advantages to
holding a job as a server. These include:
One of the advantages of being a server is that you may be compensated well for providing good services to the guests you serve in a restaurant. In elegant restaurants and restaurants with quick turnover, a server who provides good service can make more money in tips and wages than a cook, administrative assistant, police officer, flight attendant, or school teacher.
You may also be eligible for free or reduced-priced meals from the restaurant.
Restaurant establishments operate for several hours extending over the periods for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and into the evening. You might consider working weekends and evenings a disadvantage, but the flexible hours allow many people to work around another job or family responsibilities.
As a server, another advantage is that you can meet many interesting people as you serve your guests. You have the chance to interact with people of all ages and from all walks of life. Occasionally, you may even serve a celebrity.
Unlike a job in an office, which requires a large investment in business clothing, as a server, you are only required to buy a few uniforms and comfortable shoes.
Some people also find working as a server in pleasant surroundings advantageous.
Many restaurants have a very elaborate decor and atmosphere. You may also have an opportunity to sample a variety of food.
