George Proferes' There's Money on Those Tables for You is a practical and engaging guide to succeeding in the restaurant service industry, offering firsthand insight into the art and business of waiting tables. Drawing from real-world experience, the author shares strategies for maximizing tips, improving customer interactions, increasing efficiency, and navigating the social dynamics of restaurant work. Blending instructional advice with anecdotal, almost autobiographical observations, the book captures a vivid picture of mid-20th century food service culture while remaining surprisingly relevant for modern servers. Illustrated with black and white drawings, it serves as both a how-to manual and a period piece reflecting the working life of waiters and waitresses. A scarce and unusual title that appeals to collectors of occupational guides, hospitality history, and vintage self-improvement literature, and a thoughtful gift for anyone in the service industry or interested in its history even if that's for yourself.
