what abilities do you need for waiter
Best Answer: Being a waiter can actually be a good living, if you put your heart into it. The absolute top skill required is patience and an ability to keep your cool. Customers are going to ask for things that are weird, unexpected, or just plain unreasonable.
You need to be friendly. They are your customer, not your friends, so they didn't come there to talk to you. But, you need to make them feel like, for the moments that you are talking, they are your top priority and are important. You need to know a thing or two about etiquette and what's expected. Soup and salads come first, mains after, and dessert after that. You need to be attentive but not oppressive during the meal. Find out whether they need anything, but don't visit them every 5 minutes. Be visible in case they need to flag you down.
