Treat you customers as if they were your only table if you are bussy aknowledge them at least and tell them you will be there soon. Make them feel like royalty, some will not tip good no matter what you do but most will.The place you work will also have to do on how good your tips will be.

Hey, my name is Faith42 and I hope I can help!


Okay, her is some tips I think will help you:

-niceness (try to be as nice as you can, even of you
are having a bad day)
-make sure they are served exactly as they told you
(try to make sure they get want they ordered)
-make sure you refill their drinks

- before they ask give them extra napkins

I hope these tips bring more tips in your
pocket!

Just make sure that the tables you are waiting on are always happy, and that glasses are always full. Know the menus in case of any questions about meals and things like that. Just be extra friendly, and making jokes (that are appropriate and funny) always makes them feel welcome. If youare having a bad day, don't let your customeers know that! When dealing with rude customers, make it a game to be as nice as possible, and say things they cant really fight back to.
Overall, just use your head and be nice! :) hope i helped.

I just started waitressing and I found that you make good tips by being as polite and nice as you possibly could be. Keep going back to the table to make sure everything is alright & that they don't need anything, or if they do get it right away. Keeping the customers happy, pays off when they pay ;) Also, joking around with them or answering any questions about the food [whats good, hows it cooked, etc] also makes the tips higher. Remembering faces helps too. If you have regulars that you learn order the same drink and/or food everytime, suprise them with how much you remember & say something like if i'm correct you wanted the ____ right? They'll be pleased to know you can remember them. ♥

Just be polite and casually check on them to see if they need anything. Most adults ALWAYS tip, no matter what, just as long as you smile and the food isn't late or anything.

good luck & hope i helped.
let me know. =]
