Swing-shift hours vary with the restaurant opening hours, but typically run 4 p.m. to midnight, occasionally from 2 to 10 a.m. If the restaurant serves breakfast after 10 a.m., the swing shift might require wait staff to arrive at 3 a.m. and work until 11 a.m.plit. While shifts generally include two four-hour shifts worked back to back, some waitresses work breakfast and then return to serve during the dinner service. The term split shift describes servers returning to work after other waitresses take service shifts.
