National Waitstaff Day

National Waitstaff Day is an annual observance held on May 21 to recognize and appreciate the hard work and dedication of waitstaff in the food service industry. Waitstaff are the people who take orders, serve food and drinks, and make sure customers have a pleasant dining experience. The day is an opportunity to show gratitude for the important role that waitstaff play in the restaurant industry, as well as to raise awareness of the challenges they face on the job, such as long hours, low wages, and dealing with difficult customers. On National Waitstaff Day, restaurants and other food service establishments often show appreciation for their waitstaff by offering special discounts, bonuses, or other perks. Customers can also show their appreciation by leaving a generous tip or by simply thanking their server for their hard work.
