What do wait staff services include?
Hiring a Tasker for waiter service can help grow your business and meet expectations on days when there is so much going on. It doesn’t just have to be during the peak seasons for the hospitality industry, like Christmas and Valentine’s Day. It can also be on days when there’s a lot of foot traffic coming in. This can differ for every type of business.Â
Bars and fine dining restaurants can need more people in the evening, while more family-friendly places may need additional servers during lunch hours and weekends. The trick is finding part-time staff that already have experience in what you need. This saves you time in training them and gives you more peace of mind. When putting up a task for wait staff for hire, here are some positions that you can look for:
Hosting staff
In most establishments, the wait staff and manager double as the host or hostess for the meal. However, there might be days when the table seating is more challenging to manage. Catering for special events done in the restaurant or conference room may also need more people to welcome guests, explain the menu, and ensure that everything goes smoothly. Some Taskers specialise and have years of experience in making clients feel like VIPs during their visit to your restaurant through excellent service and accommodating attitudes.
Serving staff
The serving staff is the backbone of your operations. The work is not easy, either! However, it is possible that hiring twice the number of your full-time team might hurt your financials. If you’re noticing orders getting switched up or staff members taking sick days, they might be not getting enough rest. Take time to review when the bulk of heavy work comes in and put up a Task for those hours.Â
Depending on the type of your establishments, you can find entry-level and highly trainable Taskers who are looking to make additional money during their free time or experienced wait staff with years of working in fine dining restaurants. Your current team will be happy for the extra help, and you can be sure that guests are adequately served.
Bartenders and baristas
It’s not a complete meal without drinks, whether a fine cocktail in the evening or a delicious coffee concoction in the morning. There are so many talented bartenders and baristas here on Airtasker that you can work with. This can be when your regular guy (or gal!) can’t come in.Â
Another instance is when you’re only in need of the service for special occasions like closed-off events or in-house promotions. You may also want to test out hiring a part-time staff before committing to a regular employee on payroll to ensure that it’s well-received by the guests and that the expense is manageable.Â
Dishwashers
Busy hours mean more plates coming in and leaving the kitchen. If you’re constantly running out of plates, glassware, and utensils during lunch or dinner, it might not be an inventory problem. You might just need more hands shuffling the plates and making sure they’re clean. Hiring a Tasker to help in the kitchen, whether specifically for dishwashing or in general, can also help you avoid a customer becoming irate for seeing a stain on their dinnerware. Avoid the embarrassment and the risk of losing your health licence by investing in a Tasker who can help.

Waiter / assistant needed to help Halloween house party
$350
Port Melbourne VIC, Australia
23rd Sep 2024
6pm - 12am (party starts at 7pm) I need to hire a waiter/assistant for a Halloween themed house party I’m hosting. Basically to serve the drinks, tidy as we go and help me keep on top of hosting. For serving drinks: Nothing fancy serving wise, nothing to shake or blend, just pouring just like vodka with a mixer.. maybe aperol spritz (but I’ll have the pour instructions) top up wine, collect empties and clean glasses as we go. Serving food: all food is just nibbles, so to top up the chips when the bowl when it’s is empty and top up charcuterie board aetc. I might do an Uber eats of pizza or something hot (I can’t cook) and just cleaning up/taking rubbish out etc. Other help: answering the door when you hear it (it’s odd and annoying - my friends will probably just text me anyway), maybe putting batteries in the decorations if they run out, putting fog liquid in the machine when it’s died and that’s basically it. I’m expecting anywhere from 10 to 50 people and they will not expect you to serve on them, they can make their own drinks and look after themselves but if it’s quiet you could offer some of my drinks but mostly keep things tidy in the as we go which would be a weight off my shoulders! I would ofcourse take you through everything before hand and you can come enjoy a drinks as well and be part of it if you like. I’m a very chill person lol, just worried about hosting as last time I got overwhelmed and couldn’t enjoy myself as I kept having to do odd things. I live in Port Melbourne and my house is a 3min walk from the 109 tram stop or there is free all day parking out the front.
Where to begin! SARA SAVED THE DAY! She was next level incredible, amazing, not enough words to describe her and her expertise! She as super hard working (legit I never saw her stop!), super lovely and helped calmed me down but also her SKILL! She has amazing styling skills I was not expecting and was constantly blown away. Not enough space to say everything here but SHE WAS EVERYTHING! I will hire her every time!
