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.

(new one everyday!)
One of the most important things to remember is to never run out of anything.
Get fully setup before you start a shift. Nothing is worse than having a table of eight sit just when you realize you’re out of supplies. You'll spend most of your shift just trying to get caught up.
