All You Need To Know Before Applying For A Waiters' Job In Nigeria by Thistles: 2:00pm On Jun 06, 2018
Can you charm even the grumpiest and most irritating clients? Can you carry a hot bowl of soup without breaking a sweat? Then you may be a talented waiter or waitress. A Waiter or a waitress is someone that take orders and serves food or beverages to customers in dining establishments.

Also called servers, they are responsible for ensuring that customers have a satisfying dining experience. The duties of servers vary based on the establishment they work.

No doubt, being a waiter or waitress in Nigeria is hard work. You will have to deal with rude customers, and clean a lot of mess on tables. Your feet will hurt. But it's a great career in the Nigerian hospitality industry. As a waiter, casual dining restaurants will expect you to be quick, efficient and friendly.

In hotels or upscale restaurants, where more complicated meals are prepared and are often served over several courses, you need to be more professional. For example, you should be able to upsell. You may need to know about wine and food pairings.

Waiters and waitresses may meet with managers and chefs before each shift to discuss coordination between the kitchen and the dining room and review any customer service issues from the previous day or shift.

Duties of Waiters and Waitresses in Nigerian Restaurants and Hotels


Waiters and waitresses typically do the following:
Greet customers, present menus, and explain daily specials to customers
Relay food and beverage orders to the kitchen staff
Take food and beverage orders from customers
Carry trays of food or drinks from the kitchen to the dining tables
Prepare itemized checks and take payments from customers
Remove dirty dishes and glasses, and clean tables after customers finish meals
Set up dining areas, refill condiments, and stock service areas

How much do waiters and waitresses in Nigeria make?
On average, waiters and waitresses make about 30,000 NGN to 50,000 NGN monthly. Most of your pay will likely come from tips, so the better a server you are, the more money you'll make. Beware, though: if you get stuck with bad tippers or a bad shift you can end up walking out with little or no money.

Hotels and restaurants need experienced waiters from time to time. As a hotel management company, Curzon and Jones specialise in hotel and restaurant restructuring. Hotels and restaurant owners can contact us today for a trained waiter or a one-hour free consultation on increasing your revenue.
