Carrying and stacking plates is an art when working as a waiter, and the more you clear and stack from the table in one go, the more it is part of the guest experience. A good tip is to get to know the plates, cutlery and other necessary tools, feel their weight and size,
That way, you can calculate how to stack the plates and cross the cutlery and add other tools to get a good balance as you go.

Try to remove as many dishes from the table as possible in one go. Plates, cutlery, monkey cups and other accessories, it’s okay to ask guests to help you with the dishes as the more dishes you have on your arm, the harder it will be for you to reach.
