Seasonal Waiter: Best of both worlds. Most areas have a high season and low season and unless you are in a town like Las Vegas or a place like Disney, where it is always busy. The seasonal restaurant waiter takes advantage of peak activity in two different towns. For example, a restaurant located in a tourist destination may hire seasonal waiters during the summer months when there is an influx of visitors. There are drawbacks however as described by guest Kyle Dalia.

There are several pitfalls to consider when you choose to work as a seasonal waiter.

Ever thought to yourself I am going to crush this buffet? How do these restaurants stay in business? If so we will explain how buffet restaurants make their money.

Buffet restaurants make money by charging customers a fixed price for all-you-can-eat access to the buffet. The price of the buffet typically varies depending on factors such as the location, time of day, and selection of food offered.

To make a profit, buffet restaurants need to carefully manage their food costs and ensure that they are not overstocking or wasting food. They may also need to control labor costs by using a self-service model and automating certain aspects of the dining experience.

Overall, buffet restaurants rely on a high volume of customers to generate revenue and carefully manage their expenses to maintain profitability.

The perception of time is a complex concept that is a subjective experience. In this week’s restaurant podcast we look at the perception of time in the restaurant. Time is influenced by a variety of factors, including biological, psychological, and cultural influences. Restaurants welcome many different cultures and so we also welcome the cultural differences of time. From reservations to how long to stay in the restaurant. Time perception is affected by our physical and mental states, as well as our environment. Are you hungry while you wait for a table? You may feel the passage of time go by very slowly. It can be experienced differently depending on the individual, and can be distorted by stress, fatigue, and other external factors. Time perception can also be affected by our expectations. Join us as we dive into this restaurant podcast on time.

In this week’s restaurant podcast Danny and and I are in Las Vegas. Friend of the show, Jay Salonga, describes what it is like for him unwinding after a shift. Shift drinks in Las Vegas.  Jay opens up about personal relationships at work and outside of work. Working in the restaurant dealing with the pace of work, shift drinks is a way to unwind and talk about your shift. The catch is there can be a blurring of the line that separate work life from personal life. Later on in the show Danny and I talk about how our trip to Las Vegas went.

In this week’s restaurant podcast we are black in the restaurant. What is it like to wade through the thicket of stigmas that rub right up against prejudice? Do you adjust your service style waiting on black people? Is there merit to the sentiment that black people do not tip? Danny and I will discuss what it is like being black in the restaurant: Waiting on black people, and being waited on as black people.

The ‘No Tax on Tips Act’ (H.R. 482) is making headlines! In this episode, we break down the proposed bill that could eliminate income taxes on tips for restaurant servers, bartenders, and beauty service workers.
