Better communication from the managers about random events that were happening in the bistro.

Waitress

July - August 2019 • Miami, FL

What I liked

Everything. Mostly everyone was patient with me when I was new.

What I wish was different

I wish I would have worked there more time!

Advice

If you need help ask for it! I had days where I was the only server in the restaurant (It wasn't too big but it would still get very full) and I didn't want to ask for help because I was afraid of bothering my coworkers.
