Individuals who assist waiters, waitresses and bartenders by cleaning tables, removing dirty dishes and keeping serving areas stocked with supplies.

They also replenish the supply of clean linens, dishes, silverware and glasses in the dining room and keep the bar stocked with glasses, liquor, ice and drink garnishes. Dining room attendants set tables with clean tablecloths, napkins, silverware, glasses and dishes and serve ice water, rolls and butter. At the conclusion of meals, they remove dirty dishes and soiled linens from tables.
