[sandilovee]

[richythe5th]

[BrandNewRuins]

Good video man. Thanks for the tips.

[iamnotemily]

People really don't appreciate what your server does for you....

[nitrogen0913]

[dewildee]

@nitrogen0913 fuck you biiaatch

[Matthew9818]

I am learning waitering at college but I am missing a lot due to work! sucks but fuck it that,s what being a quick learners about!

[iveayu]

those plates are heavy as fuck =d

[paulinadejackson]

my hands are too small to do that :(

[appubintu]

Can you show the upper arm with food on the plates? And, afterwards, can you show an upper arm clearing a table of four, with remnants on some dishes? Empty plates don't spill.

[julieg1985]

Great video... wish we had simple round plates at work lol we just have large bowls and weirdly shaped plates lol

[elky29]

sorry master but we carry 6 at a time and there is food in them at the time. call us if you need to upgrade your skills

[ursulee]

@elky29 carrying 6 plates at the time is Not professional. because when you take 6 some of those plates' bottoms squeeze the food in the other plates and skills won't help you prevent that, unless u are carrying half empty plates or pizzas OR you are working in a shitty restaurant where nobody cares about the serving, just wants their food quicker. it should be maximum 4 of them and even then, when you have 2 plates in one palm, the left ones' corner usually touches the others food

[elky29]

@ursulee most thanks for your response but no do not work in a pizza or burger type place but work in a restaurant. The government has responded to endure the financial losses of the country to where the less paid must pay more, thus our profession we both work in, resulting in less staffing and more taxing so in our industry so we work harder with less staff. And no the food does not touch any other plates and the reason being is we are professional.

[appubintu]

@ursulee I agree entirely. You do not show bravura at a posh restaurant. I should add that the more plates you carry the worst job you'll do. For one simple reason: what are you going to do if you are serving and some of the silverware on the table is in the way? WIll you ask the customer to move it or pick it up?

[nonzenzeable]

thx so much.....this video can helped me a lot :)

[emilymakris16]

Great little video. To the point and very concise. Most waiters I train do have the basics and can carry at least three plates. What would be beneficial is if hosts as well as buss boys could also learn these skills so that they may assist the wait staff.

[rupjed]

so the idea of perfect balance is putting the lip of the plate along the top edge of your thumb.how abt its too hot...?i struggle...I like this video tho.

[Caza1202]

ALL THE PLATES AT MY WORK ARE SQUARE.

and heavy as fuck.

[Ahamster1]

omg i need to learn these skills i'm becoming a waiter TMR!!

[haruhistnumber5]

I tried waiting tables for a year. I did my best and my managers and customers liked me a lot, but INSIDE I was a nervous wreck! I'm so glad I'm a bartender and the game responds to me now.

[njordhrsdeath]

Now, why don't you try those plates again with hot food, and a massive bowl of risotto.

[realitychecker1000]

Easy with acold, empty plate!

[kumarpassion]

@realitychecker1000 Carrying four plates whether hot, cold, empty or full is the basic requirement to work in our restaurant for the assistant waiters' or runners position !!!!!

[realitychecker1000]

What about heavy plates which are red hot?

[cutefishyz]

@realitychecker1000 use gloves

[Ahamster1]

@realitychecker1000 thats a problem i face most of the time

[DaFlyingCamel]

@NoiseGalaxy Yer I ended up having to resign to go on a family holiday n didn't bother re-applying

[cybergray76]

can you tell that girl to wait until the class is finished?

[DaFlyingCamel]

This is how I was taught at tafe for the 3 plate hold (not 4) for both clearing AND carrying plates out. I recently got a new job and they are trying to make me change to another that seems common. Its where u place three fingers under one plate and balance the second plate on your thumb, pinky and heel of your hand.

I hate it, it hurts to change after 2yrs and I think it limits what you can carry. Do you think it is unreasonable for them to disregard your our way & say theirs is the only way?

[rawd]

This is a lot harder when plates are extremely hot or have food on them, making them a lot heavier!

[bla7091]

@rawd You can grab a piece of cloth and still be able to take out 4 plates...

[Anglefan12]

Is it just me or is serving about carrying too much shit as uncomfortably as humanly possible?

[omlaa]

@Anglefan12 that and having a thousand things running through your mind as inconsiderate, god complexed assholes decide they need to stall you more while they have their 3 year old child decide what they want to eat

[punktigeress]

@Anglefan12 In that case next time you are in restaurant, serve yourself since what you ordered too much shit for servers to carry.

[pipo3a]

good man!

[rcsmit]

The big secret is bending your hand a bit to your body when you put the third plate on top.

[TrinitronShit]
