Waiters memorising the order

No paper trail this way. Whatever he brings you, good luck proving it wrong.

For real people who do this are absolute legends O7

😂😂😂😂

When I was a waiter I made most of my tips by never using a pad . People would often tell me I screwed up they weren't tipping my reply was always the same . When I get it perfect I expect twice the tip. Not in a rude voice or anything . Often I got a ok ur on .never missed a item in the 4 years I did It . Although I did end up paying the irs

in germany in this case you get one beer each, with the comment, not what you ordered, but what you need"

I was NOT expecting that ending.
Would be the perfect way to exit once you quit.

Writing orders down is a great fail safe for when the client themselves forget their order and at least your manager won't blame you :P Seriously though, I worked in restaurants for 9 years and I never understood why some people don't write notes.

I always prefer they write the order down and read it back to me. I don’t want to witness an amazing feat of memorization. I just want my lunch to arrive in an accurate and speedy manner.

Unexpected but totally logic ending. 😁

I don't understand what is so tricky here . listening to this though once we have
(closest to furthest left to right from waiter's perspective)
fish burger cut to be a square? and a cola,
ceasar salad with green smoothy sticky day pudding desert with sauce on the side,
wagu cheeseburger with no house pickle and added tomato and kumo fries but no drink order, chicken don with side of avacado and no chillies with no drink,
beef don no drink order,
king crab scrambled egg with coconut cream and some sort of flakes (didn't catch what) and a mahito to drink

I worked with waiters that didn't write down the order. Some were good at it. Some were not so good at it. I remember a girl that didn't write down the order for one of her tables during a busy lunch. She got sidetracked among the restaurant chaos. Can you imagine that? About 20 mins later, one of her tables stopped her and asked her how much longer on their food. You see, they were there on their lunch break and had to get back to work. She went over to the computer to check on their order and it wasn't there. You see she forgot to ring it in. Problem was she didn't write it down and now she completely forgot what it was. She had to go over to the table and tell them not only did she not put their order in but she forgot what it was. The customer didn't have the time to wait for the food and headed back to work without lunch. Now not getting to eat lunch is certainly a first world problem, but still. I suppose that would be ok will all of you that are so impressed with not writing down orders. I mean, hey, she tried to impress her customers. I would have been so epic if she had remembered. FFS.

Failure was baked into his service. The subtitle options are polish and Portuguese but not english

Even with a note pad.. he would've gotten something wrong with that table 😂🤣

as an ex-waitress i think people don't realise that when you work with the same menu over and over and over again, memorising orders becomes easier.

I'll also take a side of bloopers as well please. Thank you!

I was expecting him to gointothe back and watch security feed of the table, with audio, so he could write down their orders

At the start I was like, let's see how much I can remember, then it got to Allie and I was completely lost. I've never even heard of some of the food they were ordering.

I was expected him to take out a tape recorder back in the kitchen and start writing stuff down...

So they all ordered Mac 'n Cheese and Heinekens...got it.👍

Ben having to change his order cause someone else wanted the same thing 😂😂😂😂

I can't even remember what I had for lunch 30 minutes ago

He not coming back 😂😂😂

I actually had most of it down and memorized but than they changed their minds like a bunch of times that Iforgot it lol so I believe people can memorize it

The whole gang at once nice! ❤

This is me doing customer support. I sound and look competent but I didn't get the request at all hahaha 😂😂😂

It's understandable that he didn't memorize the order, everyone was talking over each other, if he could actually hear them separately, then he could've memorized it.

I've seen waiters do this and absolutely shit it. My orders came back almost all wrong and very late, too. They forgot about it.

And then there’s me: who can forget what I ordered myself, and even when the waiter comes with the food and says ‘who ordered the (food)’, and I’m like ‘um…. Was that me…?’

Champion waiter: “oh I remember you ordered that a year ago, but you felt it was a little too spicey for ye” 👀

Sushi chefs: "Pathetic."

weirdly enough, i tried to memorise their orders as i watched this video

For a burger you have to ask the client how he wants the cooking ( Rare, medium rare, underdone etc )

This waiter didn’t only have issues to remember order but to remember the entire job

( if course it’s staged but just saying, as a waiter myself it’s obvious )

I was a waiter for 15 years and remembered every single order every time.

Lesson here. Never approach table where people still read the menu. I do not know who imvented that moronic standard and what for. So many times had to telll waiter to come back later.

It’s actually pretty easy to memorize orders like that, but it definitely gets tricky when everyone starts changing their minds like that

Hello

Alan is actually such a great actor.

imo, maybe actually he is really can remember all the orders but because the customers keep give him pressure and shake his confident by keep ask him to write the orders (realized or not that indirectly doubt his capability)....he forget their the orders🤔🤨

🐠 burger

Legend has it that they are still waiting for their food.

I love the small hints in all the videos that this is set in NZ. Keep it up guys!

I could manage up to 8/10 people without writing it down. Can be confusing when the 1/2 change their minds or speak over each other. Waiter life

ROWAN: 1/2 FISH 1/2 WAGYU CHEESEBURGER w/FRIES & COKE
ADAM: CHICKEN CEASAR SALAD WITH GREEN SMOOTHIE & STICKY DATE w/CARAMEL ON SIDE
BEN: CHICKEN KARAAGE DON w/SIDE AVOCADO 86 CHILI
ELLIE: ALASKA KING CRAB SCRAMBLE w/COCONUT CREAM, BONITO FLAKES & MOJITO
HAMISH: BEEF DOG
TAMEKA: WAGYU CHEESEBURGER 86 PICKLES SUB TOMATO w/FRIES
3x SIDE KUMURA FRIES

Do I still have a job?

The electrician to lay new sockets in my kitchen was the same. Unfortunately, he didn't run away but did his "work".

What a blast we all had when the furniture was to be built in.

Former waiter here, and for me it really depended on the complexity of the menu I was working with. At the place with a 7-page dinner and drinks selection every single item was being written down to whether people wanted lemon in water or not. At the place where the 13-item menu changed at least partially every night and you were expected to have it memorized along with preparation methods, common allergens, and what adjustments could be made to items (along with the identities of the 8 wines by the glass that were only listed by tasting notes, and which changed at binightly), any group a 4-top or smaller was surprisingly easy since you just drew associations between the people and the info you already had stored away.

Both SNL and Conan have done a similar sketch in the past

Working in two restaurants right now, there have been times when I wanted to just run out the door. Now, i'm not a waiter, and I don't plan on being one. I'm just a cook but sometimes when I get the orders from the waiters I feel like just running out the door.

i dunno it woild be way more funnier if he got it right
