I'm thinking about getting a part-time job as a server at a chain restaurant (Applebee's, Ruby Tuesday's, Olive Garden, etc.) and have a few questions for people who have been servers or are servers:
1) On average, how many tables are you serving at one time? 3? 4? 5? I'm a little worried that I might get overloaded early on and be asked to wait on 5 tables, which is too much IMO.
2) How long is your average work shift? Does it vary depending on whether you are doing an afternoon or night shift?
3) On average, how much do you bring home in tips per shift? How much does it vary depending on the time of the shift (whether it is day/night or week/weekend)?
I've never been a sever before, so I was just curious about these issues and anything else you think I should know.
Thanks for the help in advance!
