National Waitstaff Day: Celebrate and Honor Our Servers!

The Best Events for National Waitstaff Day Celebrations

On May 21st, National Waitstaff Day honors the dedicated and often skilled waitstaff. We are encouraged to appreciate all waitstaff for making our dining experiences pleasant. Restaurant owners and managers also show their gratitude for their waitstaff team. They help restaurants succeed.

#NationalWaitstaffDay Waitstaff, or servers, play a big role in the quality of your dining experience. They act as the link between the diner and the kitchen. While attending to several tables at once, they also represent the restaurant. Experienced waitstaff are knowledgeable and efficient. They are key to creating a great dining experience. The food may be delicious, but their attentiveness and attitude can make or break the experience.

Most waitstaff go above and beyond to ensure you receive excellent service and have the best time possible. They refill your drinks before you ask, bring extra bread, rolls, or chips, give honest recommendations on food choices when asked, and are a valuable asset to any restaurant. Excellent servers turn diners into regulars who are known by name.

To Observe National Waitstaff Day

We recognize our servers each time we enjoy a restaurant meal by leaving them a tip. If you receive great service, tell them you appreciate the excellent service they provided and leave a more generous tip. Keep visiting the restaurant and let the manager know how well the waitstaff treated you. It doesn't matter if you're visiting a chain restaurant or a local favorite. Waitstaff deserve recognition for their great service, long hours on their feet, and smiling faces. Every restaurant owner knows their waitstaff are the face of their business.
