Servers attend to guests during a meal, helping them place their order and making sure they get their food and beverages in a timely manner. They greet guests and engage in friendly conversation with them to cultivate a hospitable, welcoming environment. Servers must be knowledgeable about the food and beverages on the menu so they can explain dishes to guests and clarify any concerns about allergies or styles of food preparation. Servers submit orders to the kitchen and bring food out to guests when it is ready, filling their drinks and checking on other tables in the meantime. They help their tables pay their bill and make correct change, keeping track of receipts and tips. In addition to caring for guests, servers help maintain a clean and sanitary environment by bussing dishes, sweeping floors and completing other closing tasks.
