A Waitress is responsible for taking care of the customers in a café or a restaurant from the moment they enter to the time they leave the restaurant. Some of the job duties that are enlisted on a Waitress Resume are to greet customers, get them seated, provide them with a menu, take food and beverage orders, refill orders if needed, take payments, and resolve any food or service related issues the customers might have.

To take up this service-oriented role, one needs to have excellent communication skills, a pleasing personality, clean habits, punctuality, soft-spoken behavior, efficient and quick turnaround, ability to make menu suggestions, and a friendly approach.
