Waiting

We are down a couple of people and so I needed to put myself on the schedule to wait tables today.  I have done one or two tables every now and again when we were missing someone in the afternoon but I haven't waited tables during an actual lunch.  I've done plenty of order taking and that is not exactly difficult to do but this is a bit different.  I have to be on the ball.  It is not the easiest thing to do this waiting of tables.  I never was overwhelmed as it was somewhat of a slow day but I did have to keep a move on.  I can see where our waitstaff can get overwhelmed with drinks, orders, taking food out, cashing out customers, busing tables etc.  I'll be back at it on Thursday.
