Banquet Server Job Description
Employed by a catering service or a hotel, banquet servers are roaming non-standard waiters and waitresses. In a typical restaurant setting, the wait staff will have tables they are assigned to cover, but banquet servers are responsible for accommodating all guests at a function while circulating the room. Anticipating the needs of the guests and responding politely to their requests are common required tasks.
In 2012, nonrestaurant food servers earned $22,010, on average, per data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. A 12% increase was projected from 2010-2020 for workers in the food and beverage serving and related workers category, based on bureau data.
