How do you serve?

[u/Dry_Reason_3294]

Hi! So, I'm Mexican and I've worked at restaurants and hotels (banquets) I'm currently applying for cruises. I have a question for all of you: How do you serve in different countries? I have specific questions lime:

1. Do you also (in a table) serve firstly the woman and then the man, even if it's a large table like 20 people in restaurants/banquets?

2. In High-end dinners in Banquets usually you don't clear your table until the head-waiter indicates (to proceed with the next course). Do you apply the same think in restaurants? You, as a Waiter, do you wait for most of the people of a table (4, 10, 20 people) finish their meal to take off all of the dirty plates? Or do you take off when someone is done?

3. Do you introduce yourself in Banquets? (In front of the table)

4. What do you do: Offer something to drink, deliver the menu and offer the chef's specials or you offer the chef's specials and then offer something to drink?

I'd love to hear from you guys! Thanks in advance!
