What to wear for waitressing job?


Question Posted Sunday February 3 2008, 4:08 pm

14/f

I'm going to be doing some waitressing soon. I've worked with the company before so I know that we have to dress all black.

It's a catering company so does all different jobs, but I know that the one we're doing is going to be quite glamourous, with a lot of people.

I'm not sure what to wear. How do I do my hair and makeup?
What about jewellery and shoes? I'm one of the youngest waitresses and very short as it is, so heels would make me look taller, but I can also be quite clumsy and I don't want to drop things.

What do you think?

I've done some assistant, temp waitressing before, and the number one thing concerning shoes is to get flats, no heels unless you are completely and totally able to walk in them stably. Look for flats with NONSKID soles. I cannot even being to express how important this is. On my first day of the job, I tripped and spilled chips and salsa ALL over me. It was horrible. The cause of my fall were the shoes. Consider getting hot pads [for your hands], and start practicing on carrying multiple plates. You will be using your wrists most definitely to carry the extra plates that don't fit into your hands.

Message me for more advice if you need it.

if you're clumsy bracelets can get caught on trays along with long necklaces so those aren't the best idea. earings or a short necklace would be best. heels might not be the best idea but if you'd like to wear them a chunkier heel is easier to walk in. as far as make-up goes, nothing too flashy, just something pretty and on the natural side. and for clothing wear something neatural, classy and not skimpy oh and you can never go wrong with sleek straight hair.

Start off by wearing flats, especially if you are clumsy in heels. Dress nicely, but not overly formal. Wear natural looking makeup. The only jewelry I would wear is earrings, nothing too fancy. You aren't a guest at the event, you are just serving the people there. Look nice, simple clean makeup, little or no jewelry. You can always ask someone you are working with what they will be wearing.
