Aim higher a restaurant is pretty low you can walk off the streets and be hired to clean dishes. Get something that will be useful if your life, apply to the magistrates court, hospitals, care homes, schools, solicitors and companies get something worth while.

Answer 4

ive worked in MANY restaurants and it is worth it if you apply at the right place .. like ive worked at a diner i didnt make anything, wasnt even worth my time of day to go there.. ive worked for chains as well bennigans, chili's , olive garden, a few other places and made decent money ... ive also worked at high end places where the rich go and that would be your best bet id leave with 500 + after a 5 hour shift .. because the foods so expensive but you also have to get a good server and make them feel as tho they are your only table .. GOOD LUCK

It depends on what position you're applying for, I've been a waitress for about 8 years, and you could make about $80-120 on tips on a busy night, and they don't make you wash dishes, unless you apply as a dishwasher. If you don't have any experience in waitressing, they start you off as a hostess, you pretty much greet people at the door, seat them, take names, but if you're a good worker and you show interest in waitressing they will promote you as a waitress and you can make pretty good money.

It all depends what type of restaurant you are applying for and the type of position. I have worked as a server in various restaurants (pizza hut, red robin, bennigans and macaroni grill) At pizza hut we had the salad bar so the opening server would have to chop stuff up for the salad bar.

With all of the other restaurants we didn't have to chop vegs or wash dishes, but we did have other sidework. The sidework all depends on the restaurant. It could be as simple as lining the burger baskets to filling the soup.

However, if you were a dishwasher you would be expected of course to do dishes and if you were a prep cook you would chop up the vegs.

My daughters worked as waitress's while going to college and made enough money in tips to pay for rent, utilities, books and what ever else they did that I don't know about. They worked at a sports bar restaurant. Now ones a nurse and the others an accountant.

Answer 8

You should go for it and do every job they give you the best of your ability. That way they will see how passionate you are and let you do more interesting things.

just think about this. . . Is that what you want to do for the rest of you life.  If you have other plans try to find something that goes a long those lines.  Working as a waitress will only take you so far.  Also it's not a set pay check you can always get fired.  I learned that.  I used to be a full time college worker and worked 3 part time jobs in the summer.  Now I'm a Specialist in the Army heading toward my SGT and stilld doing college.  Except they pay for it.
