The Modern Waiter Podcast

Downtown Nashville breakfast. We ate at 3 walkable spots near Broadway and broke down exactly where to sit, what to order, and what to skip. We have spent years on the other side of the counter, so this is less of a review and more of what two servers actually notice when they go out to eat. Every spot in this episode is walkable from Broadway. No Ubers, no 20 minute drive for pancakes.If you are planning a Nashville trip, or you live here and you are tired of the corporate spots, this one is for you.Follow Me On Social Media:Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/themodernwaiterpodcast/TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@themodernwaiterSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Who really runs a restaurant? It is not who you think. There are two positions that act as the linchpin of every busy restaurant. Managers, bartenders, servers, and chefs all matter. But when the restaurant gets busy and one of these two spots goes empty, the whole operation can fall apart. #RestaurantLife #ServerLife #RestaurantIndustryShop https://86threads.com/products/the-clopen-tee?variant=55747251241033Follow Me On Social Media:Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/themodernwaiterpodcast/TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@themodernwaiterSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Do waiters judge you by what you order? Can servers tell how much you'll tip before you even sit down? In this episode of The Modern Waiter Podcast, we answer the questions customers really want to ask but never do.Shop Eff Brunch T shirt worn on the show: https://86threads.com/products/eff-brunch-tee?variant=55733947596873With over 30 years in the restaurant business, we share the restaurant secrets servers don't usually say out loud: what we think when you don't tip, whether we talk about you after you leave, the "innocent" habits that are actually rude, and the right way to send food back (hint: within 2 bites). #TippingCulture #RestaurantSecretsNot in the industry?

Why are restaurants empty? Eating out is too expensive for a lot of people right now, but after 30+ years in the restaurant industry, we think the real problem goes deeper than restaurant prices. A normal night out for two now easily runs $150 to $250. On top of that come service fees, credit card fees, and a customer experience that too often doesn't feel worth the check.IYKYK https://86threads.com/products/the-clopen-tee?variant=55747251241033Tell us in the comments: when was the last time you walked out of a restaurant and said, "This isn't worth it"? #RestaurantIndustry #EatingOut #ModernWaiterPodcastFollow Me On Social Media:Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/themodernwaiterpodcast/TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@themodernwaiterSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
