The Modern Waiter Restaurant Podcast fun discussions and interviews relating to the service industry that are relevant to both restaurant workers and guests. Have you ever wondered what your waiter or waitress is thinking? Have you ever wondered how a restaurant works behind the scenes? Perhaps you worked in the service industry and laughed while discovering that all restaurant employees are the same. We have all dined at restaurants many times. The Modern Waiter Podcast helps restaurant patrons enjoy their experience by giving them a look behind the industry curtain.

Brunch is starting to point in the right direction. We return to Anthony's Clam Bar to record. Oh wait, it is July 4th and we cant get a table to set up. No problem. We record right at the bar rail. Nothing stops the show. Jimmy G (@rebelinthenight) joins us to weigh in.

In a climate of restaurants being short staffed, mix in a set of uncommon circumstances, we identify the anatomy of a s#*t show. Sometimes things go sideways on a shift making it a “Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day”. Maybe it happens often at some places. Still hot after the worst brunch ever, we invite Omar back to the show to discuss ways in which we can survive a S#*t Show. Excuse the language but things get hot.
Guest: Omar Eraso

Mispronunciations are very pervasive in the restaurant. Many names of ingredients have foreign language origins which raises the bar further when it comes to knowing how things are pronounces. How so we handle ordering that menu item when a name is botched? We handle it by not handling it. However we can certainly have fun with it. We have all had the challenge but it is not that serious.

This week’s restaurant podcast finds us in a place where we air our “mild” annoyances with some of the working parts of the business. Of course we like to offer solutions to every problem. Does that ratio really exist? Danny and I take issue with guests as well as coworkers. I admit some things just need an attitude adjustment. For now you are gonna hear what grinds my gears.

Help Wanted Pt. 2: A continuation of last week’s restaurant podcast. Jason Raymond of Seed Kitchen, Stem Wine Bar and Drift Oyster Bar in Atlanta has a bone to pick with us right at the top of the show. We do not see eye to eye on going to restaurants on busy holidays and we have “healthy conflict” on the topic. Fresh from the trauma of Mother’s day and the anticipation of Father’s Day which are the final markers of the big restaurant days till later in the year. How do you make a busy night positive and memorable? Jason recommends communication and staying within you scope of your capabilities. I say easier said than done…

Help Wanted. While the majority of owners sweep the lack of employees under the rug of unemployment benefits and stimulus checks, we know it is not that simple. Specifically restaurant employees struggle with finding what is best for them. We lift the rug of lazy oversimplification and start the conversation attempting to answer why is there a dearth of applicants for restaurant job openings. Joining us in this week’s restaurant podcast is Jason Raymond of Seed Kitchen, Stem Wine Bar and Drift Oyster Bar in Atlanta. Jason gives us his management perspective on the subject and we all are curious to see what is next.
