I want you to know that every new waiter feels scared and excited for their first day at work. It is normal, and it is even good that you feel this way! Use the fear and the excitement as motivation to prepare yourself!
It is also good to know that no matter how well you prepare for your first day at work, you cannot avoid the stress and the problems completely!
You will still go through hard and embarrassing moments, but those moments will help you learn faster on the job, so take them as lightly as you could. It is part of the process!

Let's begin with preparing for your first day at work!
Do not wait to get to the restaurant and hit the floor to start learning everything you need to know about your new job! This is irresponsible to the company, but mostly it is bad for you because this attitude will bring you a lot of stress and suffering!
As soon as you know that you have the job, get the menu, the floor plan, and the wine list. No one will expect you to know everything perfectly but put an effort to learn the food and the wine you will serve and make sure you know the floor plan and the table numbers.
If you push yourself and learn the menu from A to Z, you will do yourself a great favor, and you will surprise everyone on your new team very pleasantly. Kind of becoming everyone's favorite from day one!

Know your guests
Another thing you should do to prepare yourself is to learn about the people who visit the restaurant and the people who work there!
If it is a tourist place, where do most of the tourists come from? If they are Chinese, learn some habits and a few words in Chinese! This will impress your guests and your coworkers from day one! The same thing for every nationality that visits the restaurant.

Learn who is your head chef! You will deal with this guy a lot, and it is a good thing to know as much as possible! Use the restaurant website or ask some of the employees there. One thing you should know for sure: The chef loves the people who sell his/her daily specials, so try to do it from your first day!

Practice.
As a new waiter, you will do a lot of clearing and serving. Practice at home how to carry two, three, or four plates and how to buss tables with a lot of dirty dishes and silverware.
Usually, the new waiters have a problem carrying trays! Drink trays and food trays are part of the food and beverage service, so you should be capable of carrying them! Get a tray home and practice! If you don't have a tray, use anything that has similar dimensions and weight to practice.
The last thing you want is to drop a drink on your guest's head on your first day at work!

Learn the F&B terminology used in your restaurant!
