Serving Tables, Missing Dad: Father’s Day Feels

Father’s Day in the restaurant world is wild—packed tables, endless orders, and everyone’s got their dad in tow. Last year was my first time working the holiday after losing mine. I thought I could handle it. Spoiler: I absolutely could not. Between delivering steaks and seeing all those family hugs, I was barely holding it together. At one point, I dropped a tray because my hands were shaking so much. A regular noticed and just gave me a knowing nod. Later, my manager slid me a free dessert and whispered, “Dead dad club, huh? We survive.” It’s weird, but there’s comfort in the chaos. Food brings people together—even if it’s bittersweet. So, here’s to everyone serving up smiles while missing someone at their own table. Happy ‘dead dad club’ day. You’re not alone. #FathersDay #RestaurantLife #GriefAndFood #DeadDadClub #FoodBringsUsTogether #Food #Foodie

I Work In A Restaurant And Keep Seeing People Waste 80–90% Of The Food On Their Table

As a waitress, I keep seeing tables where 80–90% of the food is untouched. Nothing wrong with it, just left there. The most baffling part is the almost-full bottles of soda left behind -- IT HAS A CAP FOR A REASON. #FoodWaste #RestaurantLife #WaitressLife #WasteNot #Sustainability #StopFoodWaste #Food

Would you call out a bad tipper at dinner?

A server in Iowa, eight months pregnant and working a double shift, decided she’d had enough after a couple left her just a $3 tip on a $60 bill—despite receiving excellent service. She called out the man in front of his date, telling her, “You should know your boyfriend only tips pregnant women 5%.” The confrontation sparked a heated debate online about tipping culture and whether it’s ever okay to confront customers. What do you think: Is it fair to call out bad tippers, or should servers just let it go? #Business #TippingCulture #RestaurantLife

I Think My Boss Just Violated Federal Labor Law

This is a small restaurant chain. My employer sent us this today. I'm pretty sure that's a direct federal labor law violation. Someone already tried to raise this concern with the owners and they were immediately fired for it. #WorkplaceStruggles #LaborLaw #WorkersRights #RestaurantLife #AdviceNeeded

Food vloggers almost killed by a car while eating a burger 😱

OMG The entire front of the place shattered and glass was just raining down on them like that!! It is shocking to think how close they came to being seriously hurt. They were unbelievably lucky this time TBH... #Food #Influencers #Accident #LifeIsFragile #RestaurantLife #StaySafe

Wait, People Actually Dine Like This?!

You won’t believe this: a restaurant server just shared the wildest list of demands from a so-called VIP customer. We’re talking black napkins only, his own table (but he won’t say which one), steak cooked just right or it’s going back, and don’t even think about bringing the wrong server. The wife even sent FIVE notes to prep the staff. Imagine needing a manager just to handle your dinner order! Have you ever seen anything like this? #Food #restaurantlife #demandingcustomers

Las Vegas server exposes shady tip policies

Getting paid what you actually earn? Not always the case, according to a former Umami Sushi server in Las Vegas. He claims management decided his tips based on their own judgment, not what customers left—leaving him shortchanged and frustrated. Things got even sketchier when his final paycheck bounced because the account didn’t exist. Add in missing paperwork and managers dipping into the tip pool, and it’s no wonder locals are swearing off the spot. If this happened to you, would you fight back or just walk away? Let’s talk about what fair pay should look like in our community. #Food #LasVegas #RestaurantLife

Why Your Favorite Taco Spot Disappeared

Ever wonder why that go-to BBQ or taco joint suddenly vanishes? Turns out, even the most raved-about family-run restaurants are struggling to keep the lights on. Rising rents and higher wages are squeezing local spots, leading to a wave of closures—even for places with loyal fans. If you love a local eatery, show up and order often, because your favorite tacos might not be there tomorrow! #Business #SupportLocal #RestaurantLife

Restaurant Boom or Bust? Taste of Belgium’s Wake-Up Call

Cincinnati’s food scene exploded in the last decade, but not all that glitters is gold. Taste of Belgium, once a rising star, expanded too fast after COVID and had to close over half its spots. Their founder’s story is a real eye-opener for any city betting big on restaurants: recovery isn’t always as smooth as it looks. If you love eating out, this is a must-read warning sign! #Food #CincinnatiEats #RestaurantLife

Cincy’s Food Scene Shook—Here’s Why

Remember when Cincinnati was a ghost town after 5 p.m.? Taste of Belgium helped flip the script, turning OTR into a foodie hotspot. But now, even OGs like Jean-Francois Flechet are feeling the heat—pandemic aftershocks, rising costs, and changing habits are hitting hard. Flechet’s story is a reality check for anyone who thought the restaurant boom was untouchable. If you love local eats, this is one to watch! #Food #CincinnatiEats #RestaurantLife
