| Oct 17, 2019 at 15:01 | comment | added | BrettFromLA | I'm being sincere. My wife waited tables a long time ago, and has explained to me something I never really noticed: in many restaurants, there is one person who takes your drink order, another who takes your food order, a "food runner" who brings the food to your table, and a "bus person" who clears away dishes at the end of a meal. If you tell one of those people, for example the person who took your food order, that person should tell the bus person and maybe even some others who have been assisting you (in case those others occasionally clear dishes too). | |
