Im 19 and I started my first job as a server in a restaurant just to make some money and pay stuff since I live with my mom. Been there for two months and never dropped a plate and I serve dozens if not hundreds of plates everyday, but it was still very helpful, thx.

Going for a waiter role and this helped so much thank you

No idea how much this helped me! Thank you 🙏🏽

never in my life worked in a restaurant but your vides are extremely entertaining

For 7 months, I am a server at a senior assisted living home and things are pretty chill. I totally understand the stress of getting the orders up on the window and out to the tables on time. This video is so helpful! I am going to try to carry the 3 plates. Usually I would only put two plates on a tray with 2 drinks on my right hand and with the left hand I carry the 3rd plate. My worst fear is accidentally spilling 3 plates! haha.

@@paranoid5073 Hey friend! I am so excited to hear that you re starting to work at a senior assisted living home was a server! Congrats! Listen, I can relate to how you are feeling now. When I started last year I had that same thought of not having server experience before. I had done work in food service industry through volunteering and working at an ice cream shop. And I did well in costumer service when serving costumers at the ice cream shop. You'll find that most people who become servers, it's their first time as servers with no experience. The company that you work for will give you training and will help you to know everything you need to know. I never worked in a senior home until last year when I became a server.You will expect training from the company they will show you how to take room service orders and how to take orders from the residents in the dining room. You will learn the tips and tricks to serving. And you will learn how to stack plates well when cleaning tables. Stacking dirty plates is an art and if you do it right, you won't smash any lol. It's okay to be nervous. I was at first terrified on my first day but as the day progressed I got to know my lovely coworkers and over time I got to know the facility. And remember, don't expect to be perfect. You will make mistakes and don't feel bad, it's part of life working at a new job. Please feel free to reach out if you have any more questions. Again, I am so happy for you!

Thank you for this. The thumb pinky and forearm POC tip was INCREDIBLY helpful to me. Thank you very much, was getting so frustrated at the plates sliding on me

Me too... 😊

tl;dr, I had no clue how to properly hold plates and dropped a steak knife in front of an old lady. I had a stage at a restaurant (an unpaid trial shift) and was asked to clear a 4-person table. I tried to be a hero and get the entire table cleared in one go to impress management and exhibit the necessary skills to be an asset to the team. Yada yada yada. Anyways, so there I am, picking up these plates one by one. Mind you I have no technique or understanding of balancing plates whatsoever, and figure if I will my way through it and go for it, I'll be fine. I ended up with like 6 plates in my hands and a bunch of utensils stacked on top of the plate pile. Out of all the innocent utensils that could have possibly dropped (a spoon, butter knife, fork), one of the monstrous STEAK KNIVES fell right in front of this old ladies face and onto the table. The rest of her party, consisting of 3 other wealthy, elderly women loudly gasp in unison. The lady whom I dropped the knife in front of angrily mutters "Well don't stab me now!" I stand there, mortified by her comment and the awkwardness of the situation. The Manager and supervisor happened to witness it as well, and rushed over to help me with the plates. They sent me home early, said that I was "really green", and emailed me the next day to let me know they "don't have the bandwidth" to train me and thus I was not offered the position. I felt as if I was doing well on the shift, and was feeling really confident and comfortable at the restaurant. But, I was ultimately judged by that horrific blunder, as it totally outshined any other positives I may have been having throughout the rest of the shift. The moral of the story is to not be hero and attempt to clear an entire table by yourself when it is beyond your ability. Ask another server for help if needed. Aside from elbowing someone in the face or dropping hot food on them, I'd say nearly being stabbed by a flying steak knife is pretty much up there with one of the worst possible things that can happen. Having someone help you out or clearing the table in two goes is an infinitely better solution.

I really appreciate this technique and employed it as a food runner. However, I am still struggling. The plates are huge with lots of food on it making it to heavy to hold with just my thumb and pinky. The bottom one was still slipping from my pinky and the plates were very hot, causing me to stop and put them on the nearest counter. Any advice on how to correct this? Also my restaurant really wants us to carry FOUR plates at time!

Put your thumb on the rim of the plate, your finger on the lip of the bottom of the plate, now you have 3 fingers free to hold the 2nd plate, the 3rd plate goes on the rim of the 2nd plate, and your forearm, your other hand holds the 4th. Same with when clearing a table

I prefer square plates, I can carry four if I have two squares, up to five plates if the fifth is something small.

The Guy who taught me today told me to carry 3 plates with food in one hand ... It was so hard

It's the plate resting on thumb n pinky is hot, then it's a problem

Love it :)

Being emotionally aware for them can be tiring too but I've done alit of caring of my grandma just being aware...😝

I’m right handed but I carry multiple plates/cups with my left hand.

This is great technique and you made a great video, but I would like to make a point that was not touched on. Rather than pick up the dishes by seat number, you should know the table number so you can carry the way you set down. For example you don’t always serve food seat number 1-3 if seat 3 is occupied by the only woman at the table or if there is booth seating you want to serve the people on the inside first so that you don’t reach across fresh food to serve the inside. Your tips are great, but I’m just offering advice to elevate it a bit further. Cheers!
