I'll experience a day as a waiter and truly understand how the American restaurant industry works. Tips, weekly salaries, floor managers, shifts, reservations, customers, lightning-fast service, counters full of people eating alone, taxed tips, work culture, and the huge differences from Italy. Together with Giulia, the restaurant manager, we discover: 🇺🇸 how a restaurant works in New York 💵 how tips work in NYC 🍸 why American service is so fast 📋 how tables and reservations are managed 👨‍🍳 why waiters in the US are considered true professionals 🗽 how many hours do you work in New York restaurants 🍝 what's different compared to Italian restaurants And of course I'll also try to actually work among tables, spritzes, customers, and a few scoldings in the dining room 😅 This isn't just a video about restaurants. It's a little journey into the American mentality and into an authentic, everyday New York, far from the classic tourist itineraries. 📍 Sullaluna:   / sullaluna.nyc   🎥 Filming:   / andreabalbi   🗽 Instagram:   / tonylikealocal   In this video: 00:00 – A day as a waiter in New York 🇺🇸 00:45 – How the restaurant industry really works in New York 01:26 – The life of a restaurant manager in NYC 03:45 – Meetings, shifts, and organization in New York restaurants 04:47 – A typical day of a restaurant manager in New York 05:30 – Weekly salaries and wages in the US restaurant industry 05:56 – How do tips work in New York: right or wrong? 💵 10:20 – Does the manager serve tables?
