I'm a restaurant server. I come in, make sure the tables in make section are ready, and wait for guests to come while working on side work. Once they arrive, I greet guests at the table, ask what they want to drink, put their drink order in the computer, prepare and serve their drinks, ask what they want to eat, put their food order in the computer, prepare any soups or salads they ask for and serve it to them, keep an eye on their drinks, serve them refills if necessary, serve their food order, ask how their food is after a couple minutes, still keep an eye on their drinks, ask the manager for any discounts for them if necessary, print the bill for the guests and a copy for the restaurants records, ask the guests if they want any dessert, change and reprint the bill and prepare and serve their dessert if necessary, give them their bill, tell them to have a nice night, wait for them to leave, and collect the tip they left me. If it's busy I might have several tables at once different stages, at which point there's quite a bit of multitasking involved. If I'm not busy I'll help serve other server's food or work on various side work duties I have. Once my manager says I'm all done, I'll complete my side work, get initials from co-workers in charge of checking that I rolled silverware in napkins and completed my front of the house and back of the house duties. Then I go in the managers office with the manager and give them cash the guests paid their food with, receipts, discounts, and merchant copy tip slips. Then manager gives me my tips in cash. I give about 10-20 percent of my total tips to the hosts and bartender and go home.
