How to Format a Fine Dining Server Resume
Serve your best from the start! Just like fine dining requires a superb presentation, how you present the parts of your resume is equally important. A resume format resembles the order in which you would set up a full-course meal in that it determines how you bring forth your experience and skills.
The three most common resume formats are chronological, functional and hybrid. Here we will focus on the types of resume formats that work best for you.
For experienced servers, a chronological format will immediately feature your work history. However, if you just started, a functional resume format is a clever way to shift the attention to your skill set instead.

Fine Dining Server Duties and Responsibilities
To accomplish their goal of providing diners with an outstanding experience, Fine Dining Servers take on a variety of duties. Based on our analysis of several job postings, these are some of the most common Fine Dining Server duties.
Learning the Menu Fine Dining Servers must be experts on a restaurant’s offerings. When patrons inquire about food choices, Fine Dining Servers should be able to explain ingredients, preparation techniques and available substitutions. They know about daily specials or seasonal offerings not on the menu and convey information about these additional choices to the dining party. Fine Dining Servers also may offer suggestions to enhance the experience, such as which wine pairs well with a given entrée.
Handling Orders Fine Dining Servers take food and beverage orders from customers, deliver written requests to the kitchen for preparation, carry items to the table in the proper order, help the bus staff as needed with the removal of finished plates, refill drinks and collect payment when the meal is over.
Providing Customer Service Whether a food item isn’t up to satisfaction, a guest drops his fork and needs another one or the air conditioning is too cold, Fine Dining Servers rectify the problem.
Following Procedures Upscale restaurants often have strict guidelines in order to keep operations flowing and service consistent. Fine Dining Servers are aware of these instructions and act accordingly. They also pay close attention to safety measures so that food does not inadvertently become contaminated or someone gets burned by a hot plate.
Training Others Seasoned Fine Dining Servers often assume the responsibility of getting new hires up to speed.
Fine Dining Server Skills
- Looking well-groomed and neatly dressed consistently to reflect positively on the employer
- Paying attention to detail, such as placing orders exactly to customer specifications
- Listening carefully to determine the desires of patrons and act accordingly, such as figuring out the right level of pinkness for a steak
- Maintaining politeness and positivity, especially when dealing with rude or disgruntled patrons
- Multitasking in order to serve the needs of various diners at the same time
- Interacting sufficiently with customers to build goodwill and attend to their needs, but also being sensitive about giving people their space
Fine Dining Server Education and Training
Though no formal education is required, most Fine Dining Servers possess at least a high school diploma. A culinary or college degree, however, can impress hiring managers at upscale restaurants and increase the chance of landing a position. Employers also look at past experience, so servers sometimes work at less prestigious restaurants first in order to build their resumes. All Fine Dining Servers can expect plenty of on-the-job training to ensure they know exactly what to do to best represent the restaurant and provide a quality experience for diners.
Fine Dining Server Salary
The BLS includes Fine Dining Servers under the category of Waiters and Waitresses. The median annual salary for waiters and waitresses is $19,900. Workers in the 10th percentile earn about $17,000 a year, and the highest paid make more than $38,000 a year. Waiters and Waitresses in Hawaii, Vermont and California make the highest median salaries in the U.S. – $34,230, $29,180 and $25,470, respectively. It should be noted that Fine Dining Servers rank among the best paid in the profession. Tips often get calculated based on a percentage of the bill, so expensive restaurants lend themselves to servers earning more.
