What conditions do you have to have (or develop) to be a waiter?
Camila 19 de septiembre de 2026

Everything in life can be learned and incorporated, it is enough to have the will and humility to do it, but without a doubt, the Vocation of Service and Proactivity is essential in a waiter.
What do we call Vocation of Service? It is the pleasure and willingness to serve, to make the other feel comfortable with the place, the situation and the moment. It is being available and willing to assist with will and enthusiasm.
And what is Proactivity?
It is an attitude in which a person assumes absolute control of their behavior in an active way. It simply means taking the initiative. Anticipate events, be responsible for what happens and have the confidence to make decisions.
A proactive person is able to react to any circumstance. But being initiative-taking does not mean acting impulsively or in a disorganized way.
Proactivity is an essential quality in this profession. It is something that improves with experience and can be acquired. The important thing is to be attentive and willing to learn, observe and listen, to act according to the situation.
Other important qualities in a waiter are patience, empathy and the ability to work in a group, and of course, commercial vision, that is, their ability to sell!
