The Boulevard Senior Living – Wentzville Shows Appreciation to Its Waitstaff

May 21^st is National Waitstaff Appreciation Day. The difference between an okay dining experience and one that is truly remarkable lies in the hands of your waiter or waitress. They are the unsung heroes in our restaurants, and without them, we wouldn’t be able to operate at the level you’ve come to expect.  

National Waitstaff Appreciation Day was created by Fred Sirieix. He wanted to celebrate all waitstaff, from those in the finest restaurants to the ones in the least exotic locations. Sirieix’s goal was to change the perception of waitstaff as being unskilled and show them as hardworking people they are, doing skilled work that can lead to a rewarding career. It was proposed by Sirieix in 2012 and was first celebrated in 2013. 

As the Culinary Director at The Boulevard Senior Living – Wentzville, I consider a friendly smile, great work ethic, and the empathy to understand how to best serve the residents to be the attributes of a great server. It’s important to have these dedicated and loyal team members because they help keep the flow of service moving and running smoothly.

I’m proud to work with Susan, Olivia, Chuck, Janis, Josh, Britney, Tori, Paige, Alyssa, Kylie, Carolanna, Pam, Shelbi, Ryley, and Courtney. In celebration, we are going to make them a special treat!

We couldn’t do any of this without our servers; we greatly appreciate everything you do!

This year, as we all settle in for a fantastic meal, let’s take a moment to recognize the hardworking men and women that make up Arrow’s waitstaff. Their smiles and personalities help make our days a little brighter and the meals taste a little better. Thank you to them all.
