There is a level of commitment to detail that is required to become a fine dining waitress.
I occasionally receive emails asking about the pros and cons of working in a fine dining establishment as opposed to working in a more casual establishment (like a roadhouse).
A fine dining waitress is expected to be more subdued and poised. The menu items usually cost a lot more and therefore you are tipped on MUCH higher sales per table.
However, you will server fewer tables, and the tables won’t turn over nearly as quickly.
Fining dining is quieter and more refined than other positions You are expected to dress more formally and attention to detail of the menu, procedures and etiquette are quite demanding.
A roadhouse is more relaxed, you don't have to be dressed in a white shirt, black pants (only an example) and the music is usually louder and the atmosphere reflects that. Your menu items are not as expensive and your tables turn over quicker.
The choice is a more structured refined environment where you serve fewer tables with much more focus on each patron or a more casual atmosphere where you need more customers to make the same dollar value. Only you should decide whether you fit better as a fine dining waitress.

Testimonial
I am without a doubt the best waiter in the busiest restaurant in my city in
UK, I was therefore dubious about how much your e-book could actually affect
me. Being a professional waiter, and building my own restaurant, I felt
obligated to purchase the e-book and I was delighted. I skimmed through the
information before work, and that very night I made over £100 in tips, -
around $200 worth. Any waiter or restaurant owner who doesn't buy this book
is costing themselves money!
