    Just some advice; When serving the glasses, hold the glasses at the bottom and not the top. I wouldnt drink with a glass that has fingerprints on.

    When Alfred teaches you a skill. It's a skill that stays with you for the rest of your life.

    The hard part is having a full tray of full classes, cocktail glasses, etc., and distributing while maintaining balance.
  • Thank you so much for this video. I just finished my first 3 days work trial, just got hired today. Your videos have really helped.💯👌🏾

    I've said it before, I'll say it again. Use the hand that is most comfortable for YOU! Server here with almost 30 years experience. I am thoroughly Right Handed. I carry my tray (cocktail, dinner, and banquet trays) in my Right Hand, my Dominant hand. Why you ask? Because carrying and balancing a tray is The Hard Part, especially when in a crowded room. Serving from the tray is the easier part. I use my dominant hand for the hard part, if I had to use my Left Hand, my weaker hand, for balancing (which you do, not only when carrying, but also serving-you have to rebalance while serving each drink) If I had to use my left, I'd certainly drop a lot of drinks. Same for me with large, oval dinner trays. Understand that most people's arms are stronger on the side of their dominant hand. My right arm is definitely stronger than my left (even before I started serving. lol) and at 5'2" I never would have been able to carry 10 banquet dinners on one tray with my weaker left arm. Now all that being said, I know a ton of right handed servers that use their left hands to carry. And that's perfectly fine. All I am saying is do what is comfortable for YOU, and not listen to someone arbitrarily telling you which hand to use.

  • Simple right? But when these glasses and plates are full, it's not as easy anymore. Every tutorial on youtube is showing these things with empty plates and glasses and no knives/forks/spoons/cups/cup holders, etc. Not realistic

    I worked as a waiter in Fethiye, Antalya and Ankara in Turkey.

    This is wrong to pick up the glass. Always pic up the glass from bottom..

    As a restaurant and hotel service expert for 35 years in all types of services, and I have received reviews from all over the world and from American magazines specialized in this field, I tell you that you are correct in some things, but your carrying the cup is wrong. The cup is supposed to be carried from the bottom of the heel and not from the top of the cup... and you should not bend your chest too much. Customer hand, greetings to you

    Los vasos se tocan desde la base, no en la parte superior, donde el cliente posrá sus labios.
