How to increase your tips as a waiter?

Be nice to customers. Make sure u remember about small things like no ice in water or bring salt. Make them feel special. However, majority of black people don't tip no matter how nice u are to them

You need to be happy/ chatty, make them think your their friend. Talk about what there doing we're they've been, ask how there day was etc & most importantly smile

I have been a server for 15 yrs. rarely do i get a tip below 25%. Customers appreciate honesty. If you know that there is an item that you know customers wont like tell them. Soup too spicy. No rare prime rib left. etc. If you make a mistake tell the customer ( example : if you didnt put order in correctly and wrong item was made.) tell the truth. That has always worked for me. Dont bring something to the table that you know is not up to standard. If you would not want it to be served to you dont serve it to your customers. Be nice. be nice to everyone.Be nice to the customers that are not nice .Dont take the customers unpleasant personality personaly Try to kill them with kindness, you will likely find out the customer is not so horrible after all. And just be glad you are not related to the misereable customer. Do not judge people some of the wealthyist customers are low tippers . And I have gotten great tips from working class customers . I treat them the same suit or denim and baseball hat backwards . They work hard for their money and recognize that the server does as well. Leave your problems @ home , even if you are miserable do not show it @ work. work can be an escape from home issues. Remeber customers:names , favorite drinks , food alergies etc even if you have to write it down till you memorize the info.

Don't you ever feel the smallest tinge of embarrassment virtually begging money from random strangers simply for doing your job? Don't forget to tip the police officer who assists you in the removal of a rowdy customer. He is also a guy doing a job.
