Waiters and waitresses typically do the following:
Greet customers, present menus, and explain daily specials to customers
Answer questions related to menu items
Take food and beverage orders from customers
Relay food and beverage orders to the kitchen staff
Prepare drinks and food garnishes
Carry trays of food or drinks from the kitchen to the dining tables

Waiters and waitresses, also called servers, are responsible for ensuring that 
customers have a satisfying dining experience. The specific duties of servers vary 
considerably with the establishment in which they work.
In casual-dining restaurants that offer simple fare, such as salads, soups, and 
sandwiches, servers are expected to provide fast, efficient, and courteous service. 
In fine-dining restaurants, where more complicated meals are prepared and are often 
served over several courses, waiters and waitresses provide more formal service. They 
emphasize personal, attentive treatment at a more leisurely pace.
Waiters and waitresses often meet with managers and chefs before each shift to 
discuss the menu or specials, review ingredients for potential food allergies, or 
talk about any food safety concerns. They also discuss coordination between the 
kitchen and the dining room and review any customer service issues from the previous 
day or shift.
In addition, waiters and waitresses usually check the identification of customers to 
ensure that they meet the minimum age requirement for the purchase of alcohol.
