As a server, you qualify for promotions based on your overall performance. You may have the chance to become a host or hostess to seat customers and welcome them. Some restaurants promote hosts and hostesses to serving positions though. You also have the chance to become a head waiter, which comes with more responsibilities, such as setting the schedule for the week and filling in when workers cannot make their shifts. As a server, you also have the option to move into a management position. Employers often promote their best waitresses and waiters to assistant manager positions, which can lead to shift and full manager jobs later.
