Detailing: Ensuring condiments are full, menus are clean, and the floor surrounding the table is free of debris.
### Direct Guest Support
Water & Bread Service: Often the first person to greet a table by pouring water or delivering bread/appetizers.
Request Handling: Responding to immediate guest needs (extra napkins, a dropped fork, or a refill) or alerting the primary server to specific requests.
Food Running: Assisting the kitchen by delivering hot plates to tables and ensuring the correct dish reaches the correct guest.
### Back-of-House & Sidework
Glassware & Silverware: Polishing "spot-free" cutlery and glassware to be returned to the floor.
Station Stocking: Keeping service stations stocked with ice, linens, straws, and coffee supplies.
Trash Removal: Managing waste bins and ensuring the dish pit area doesn't become overwhelmed.

## What Success Looks Like
A great Server Assistant is "invisible but essential." When you are doing your job perfectly, the server never has to look for a clean table, the guest never has an empty water glass, and the dining room feels effortlessly clean. It is often considered the best training ground for those looking to move up to a Lead Server or Bartender position.
