Waiter interviews are pretty straight forward. They will want to hear about your work history and things about yourself, how well you work in a team etc. We have a dedicated forum section on our UK job forum giving advice. They are mostly typical interview questions so check them out before your interview day.

A waiting job usually wouldn’t pay well however some of them do, especially those restaurants and hotels with rich customers where you can expect substantial tips!
