A waiter job is similar to that of someone in this role at a restaurant. The main difference is that the former must adhere to standards and the level of service the hotel is expecting. Hotels serve alcoholic beverages, so persons in this role need to be 18 years or older.
Many hotels may prefer such staff not to have any experience, as they like to train them to meet their own standards. However, five-star hotels may require staff to have experience working with point-of-sales (POS) systems and working restaurant sections. Most hotels will offer in-house training and the job holder will be required to wear a uniform.
Persons in this role will also be expected to help set-up the restaurant for meals. Hotel restaurants will, in many cases, serve breakfast, lunch and dinner, and tables will have to be set accordingly. Five-star hotels will also expect waiters to be able to lay-out complex dinner setting and service wine.
The salary is not dependent on tips and can be between C
$18,000 and C
$36,000, but will vary from hotel to hotel.
