How do waiters use trays?
First, light care:

The left arm is naturally bent at a 90-degree angle, the palm is up, the five fingers are separated, the fingers and palms hold the bottom of the dish, and the palm is not in contact with the bottom of the dish, and it is flat on the chest; When walking, you should keep your head straight and shoulder level, look forward, and walk lightly. The wrist of the tray is relaxed and flexible, so that the tray can swing naturally with the rhythm of walking on your chest, but the range of the upper and lower hem of the tray can be too large.

Second, the great trust:

Separate your fingers, hold the bottom of the plate with your palm, and master the center of gravity; Hold it with the other hand, lift the tray to your chest, and turn your wrist upward to make the tray lean on your shoulder; When consigning, it should be smooth and relaxed, and the tray should be flat, shoulder-level, head straight and body straight, so as to ensure that the tray does not shake and the body does not shake.

Extended data

Round trays, 30 to 45 cm in diameter, usually provide personal tableware such as food and drink cups for guests. When supplying and taking out cigarettes and matches, use small round trays to show caution; Use the left hand tray and the right hand to take things from the guests and serve them in the specified direction.

Rectangular and square trays are used to carry heavy dishes from the kitchen to the dining room, or to take out dirty tableware from the kitchen for cleaning. As the goods are heavy, you can hold the tray with both hands. Or there are too many objects, you can consider using pallet racks and trolleys as an aid to carry too many or too heavy tableware.
