Tomorrow will be the last day as waiter.. at least for the moment. In two weeks I’ll go back to Rome, Italy for almost six months to work in an infopoint of Camping Fabulous, followed by a yoga teacher training at Samyak Yoga in India and traveling in Thailand and Indonesia. So no more tables, orders and guests anymore for this moment, but you know:”Once a waiter, always a waiter”.
And guess what will be the final song of CrazyWaiter – The Musical ??
Complaint handling for beginners: the guest is al-ways right 
Big fun in this restaurant. The food might not be the best, but it’s a great spectacle in this restaurant in the North of Italy 
(after the jump a little reportage about this restaurant)
Research showed that a heavy waiter might be good for the business.
Does the weight of a server have an influence on how much food diners order in the high-involvement environment of a restaurant? If people are paying for a full meal, this has implications for consumers, restaurants, and public health. To investigate this, 497 interactions between diners and servers were observed in 60 different full-service restaurants. Diners ordered significantly more items when served by heavy wait staff with high body mass indexes compared with wait staff with low body mass indexes. Specifically, they were four times as likely to order desserts, and they ordered 17.65% more alcoholic drinks.
Luckily I work in a all-you-can-eat-buffet-restaurant, so with my BMI of around 18 I won’t be fired

Also a good act, the rude waiter. I don’t know if your boss will be happy with it, but if you do it clearly overdone like Kryssie ‘Cherry’ Ridolf everybody will laugh
Here is a video with the waitress talking about her act.

Sometimes I joke that I do everything for my guests, even giving away a kidney. Mariana Villarreal, a waitress at Hooters in Roswell isn’t joking but did it really and might be the waitress with the most compassion in the world. At least she earned illimited karmapoints for this good deed!

Desperate students who are still looking for a thesis topic, do not worry. After working in dozens of different hospitality organizations I have an interesting topic for you. My hypothese is: ‘The quality of the staff food is has a postive correlation with the guest satisfaction` After all, good food -> satisfied staff -> staff delivers quality -> satisfied guests. Moreover, it says something about how the management sees the staff (simple infantry or valued resources) and how collegial the atmosphere is in the organization (after all, it’s almost always colleagues who cook for colleagues). And that is often very significant. I’m not sure which factor is the source and which one is the result, but hey, otherwise there was nothing to investigate anymore ….
So if you see me eating a Weight Care Chocolate Crisp, you know enough about the organization
I just made a new tool to show a lot of funny pictures and memes of waiters, waitresses and restaurants on instagram. Ofcourse I’m happy to share it with you! Have fun at CrazyWaiter’s Serverpics!
