CIVILIAN DEPARTMENT
Waiter
Waiter	Difficulty: Easy Requirements: None Access Level: Kitchen, Bar Additional Roleplay Access Level: None Supervisors: Captain, Head of Personnel, Chef and Bartender Subordinates: None Responsibilities: Greet and seat people. Relay custom orders to the Kitchen. Beg for tips. Guides: Food and Drinks

Often found wearing a snappy uniform and carrying trays of food and drink, the Waiter is a Job of the Day that is only available on Wednesdays. They are somewhat like the Sous-Chef, but instead of helping the Chef cook food, the Waiter helps the Chef and Bartender serve the public by acting as part-host, part-sommelier, and part-busser. Although, in reality, most Waiters usually just hang around the cafeteria and wait for customers to show up.

Historically, the job was added alongside the Sous-Chef in 2014 as one of the first gimmick jobs. Once the Mail Courier was promoted to full time, the Waiter took it's spot as Wednesday's job of the day. There was even once talk of making Waiters and Sous-Chef full time to acompany a possible Department of Catering, although that hasn't came to frution... yet.

On days that aren't Wednesday, anybody can become a Waiter with enough chutzpah and a visit to the Kitchen's Apparel Vendor. Proper waiters can visit this as well to get some alternative duds. Hacking it will allow you to get cat hairbands as well if you really want to go full anime and create the perfect Cat-Maid cafe.

Essential Worker

In worse-case scenarios, no customers may bother visiting the cafe (especially on classic servers without Motives), and the Kitchen may just ignore any custom orders you give them. Waiting is more than just taking orders and fetching drinks, however; consider doing the following:

• Offer a delivery service.
• Plate and set all the food the Chef leaves in a pile by the kitchen window.
• Work the Ice Cream Machine for the chef.
• Advertise the cafeteria, with help from the Radio Host.
• Set cuterly at every table, and return empty glasses and dirty dishes to the back.
• Be the Sous-Chef equivalant to the Bartender (A bar-back?) and make easy drinks such as Triple Citrus or Rum and Cokes while they create the perfect Discount Dan Cocktail. Or help them with the still.
• Fetch weird ingredients for your bosses.
• Describe the random crap the Chef tends to make in the most flowery and sophisticated langauge possible.
• Offer to season food for the customers. Say when...

Customer Disservice

Antagonist Waiters are few and far between due to their nature as a latejoin role, and certain antagonists such as a Werewolf or a Grinch they can never be. That said, as a gimmick job, they tend to easily fly under the radar, and most Chefs or Bartenders won't miss their absence. It's really easy as a result to be anonymous; most people wouldn't catch your name if you farted in their face. Plus, as a part of the kitchen staff, they have easy access to chem equipment, meaning that a patient and knowledgeable Waiter (or one with the right wiki page) can really put out a world of hurt, and then blame everything on their boss. Waiters also tend to have easy access to some robust weaponry, such as knives and rolling pins. Traiter Waiters in particular do get access to their boss's Hot Dog Cart and the Hotdog Grenades, so you have everything ready to go on a sausauge-themed rampage. Or just feel free to buy a shotgun and show those ungrateful bastards what a real tip looks like.
