waiter

n. one who serves tables at a restaurant or pub; someone who waits

Waiting staff, wait staff, or waitstaff are those who work at a restaurant or a bar attending customers — supplying them with food and drink as requested. Traditionally, a male waiting tables is called a "waiter" and a female a "waitress." Some people prefer to use gender-neutral language, using waiter indiscriminately for males and females, waitperson, server, or waitron, an Americanism coined in the 1980s. Waiting staff can also be employed in (mainly large) private households, but there such specialisation is rarer with the general domestic staff performing the function of waiting staff. Waiting on tables is part of the most common occupations in the U.S., which is the service business (along with nursing, and teaching). The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that, as of May 2005, there are over 2.2 million persons employed as waiters and waitresses in the U.S.
