Job Outlook for Waitress
Powered by Glassdoor Economic ResearchThe demand for waiters is projected to grow substantially over the next decade, as turnover is high and there will be a need to replace waiters who retire. There are no formal education requirements for waiters, so the position is accessible even to high school students or those who have dropped out. Waiters are typically trained on the job. Those who serve alcohol must be at least eighteen years of age and require additional training.
