Being a server at a restaurant can make you great tips if you do it right. Meet your guests with a smile and be prompt, introducing yourself and welcoming them shortly after they arrive. Treat the guests like they’re old friends instead of just customers and learn to read the table, preemptively knowing what your guests need before they have to ask you for it.

Key Takeaways:

• Service can make or break a restaurant. Ratings, location, menu and cleanliness are all important factors when choosing where to dine.
• And when it comes to great service, every restaurant usually has one or two servers who stand out from the rest — some are requested by guests or greeted with hugs.
• We reached out to servers who are regularly called out for going above and beyond and asked them what they do to create a truly memorable dining experience.
