They are usually called a waiter because they wait for the order. A female waiter is called a '''waitress'''. They will take orders and deliver [[food]] to customers. A good waiter can also help the customers by recommending the best food in the restaurant or café. Many waiters and waitresses are required by their employers to wear a [[uniform]]. Most uniforms used are black and white or all black. Historically the term waiter was used to describe [[customs]] officers who waited on the tide for vessels to come in carrying goods to tax. {{Commons category|Waiters}} {{Commons category|Waitresses}} {{stub}} [[Category:Food-related occupations]]
