Do you have to be pretty to be a waitress? Is it easy to find a waitress job?

I want to waitress for a while to make money that I really need to pay some debts. Will I make a lot of money waitressing? Do I have to be pretty?

Answer:
no being pretty has nothing to do with it. you need to have a gret personality and get the order out correctly and promply. even though the promptness doesn't have anything to do with it has to do with the kitchen you will get the heat for it. and you can make good money but it depends on where you get a job at and what shift you work there.

This is absurd. No you don't have to be 'pretty' but looking clean and friendly is obviously good because you are dealing face to face with people. And don't hold your breath on making alot of money. Most waitressing jobs pay minimum wage and rely on tips.... and depending where you work that could be next to nothing.

You do not have to be pretty, and besides that "pretty" is definitely in the eye of the beholder. All you need to do to be a good waitress or waiter (they use "server" now but its a moot point), is a smile and to be attentive. Just understand going into that 10% of your customers are going to have a bad day and when they come in a waiter/waitress is the easiest person to take it out on. You do not have to put with someone who cusses at you, just notify a manager if they do. But you do have to listen to gripes and just be apologetic and attentive. Its a very fun job to have and if you act like you enjoy being there it rubs off your customers and your fellow employees. Some of the most fun I ever had was waiting tables, I did it for 4 years.

Personable and attentive would be the best qualities as far as I am concerned. I am more likely to give a good tip to this type.

You don't have to be pretty, but you need to be fast, fit and smile even when you feel like pouring the hot soup over some posh tart straightened hair.

No you don't have to be pretty but you have to be efficient and cater to your tables. As far as the money goes, most don't make much money , as the diner or restaurant takes it 's cut as well as paying the bussers. Talk and get to know customers and men usually give better tips. It also depends on what shift you are and the amount of traffic you get in the establishment. Be friendly, courteous and attentive and you will get better tips. As far as being attractive, it is sad that many, especially men, will give a pretty girl more money for tips but it isn't right. For me, it is good service that determines what I give as a tip. One good thing about waitressing, which is hard work, is that you always have money in your pocket everyday you work! Good luck!

You don't have to be pretty to be a waitress. People really do tip for good service, maybe also for good looks sometimes, but it is good tips are about good service. It is pretty easy to get a waitress job. It is really hard work. Waitressing can be profitable if you are a good waitress.

No, you don't have to be pretty but efficient in getting the orders right and getting it to the customers as soon as possible. Also nice to have a good personality and look presentable. It depends on where you work will depend on the pay. You will most likely make less then minimum wage and rely on tips.
