New to cocktail serving, how to carry the tray correctly?
I just got a job at a relatively fancy restaurant as a cocktail waitress. I've served before, but never just cocktails and other drinks. Are cocktail-trays smaller than regular restaurant trays? How do I put the glasses onto the tray so when I pick up the tray I don't lose balance? What is the best way to serve the drinks so the tray doesn't crash down?
Thank you!
They should certainly train you. Ask whichever other waitress you see that makes the most tips, or seems to know what she's doing. They will show you exactly what to do. Just ask. TRUST ME, employers would rather take the time to show you properly than to have you spilling cocktails.
