Merapi Lava Tour: The Complete Guide

Taking an off road jeep on a Merapi Lava tour is one of the most fun things to do in Yogyakarta . The tour is easy to arrange. Let me tell you about the tour and show you how you can make a booking (Merapi is also a popular destination for trekking , something to consider if you like the outdoors).

Also Read:  The Best Yogyakarta Tours

Overview of the Lava Tour Merapi

There are three options available for the Merapi Lava Tour. These are the short, medium and long route. The short route consists of an 1,5 – 2 hours journey around Merapi. It costs Rp350,000 to rent the jeep. Each jeep can comfortably fit three passengers, but you can squeeze in up to five passengers if you need to.

Let me give you a quick overview of some of the highlights of the Merapi Lava Tour along with a rough itinerary. Let’s get started:

Museum Sisa Hartaku

This is a modest museum that was established by a small family (Mr. Kimin and Mrs. Wati). Museum Sisa Hartaku can be translated to My Remaining Treasure Museum. The museum is actually within their house. This house was affected by the Merapi eruption in 2010.

The family (initiated by their first child) created this museum to inform people about the last Merapi eruption. Various personal things that were owned by the family are displayed at the museum such as: motorcycles, clothing, cutlery, furniture, pets, television and much more. I got melancholy feeling looking at their clock attached to the wall. The hands of the clock are stuck forever at the moment of the eruption. It is a chilling reminder of what happened when the hot ash cloud reached the village.

Several villages that were affected by the Merapi eruption

During the tour you will pass through several villages that were affected by the Merapi eruption (sorry I can’t remember the names of the villages). Some of the villages are now fields farmed by the locals. In these villages you will see abandoned buildings in the middle of these fields.

Alien stone

There is one big stone that is called Alien stone (Batu Alien) that was hurled out of the volcano during the eruption. The surroundings here are picturesque. During the Merapi Lava Tour you will come to the edge of a cliff where you can see one of the massive rivers around Merapi. Please be really careful when you are enjoying the view from the edge of the cliff as it is pretty high.

The bunker is located in Kaliadem and is no longer used anymore. Two people were found dead inside this bunker in 2006 (eruption) . They tried to save themselves by entering the bunker and were trapped by debris from the eruption of Mount Merapi. They were covered with up to 6 feet of debris. The ash was as hot as 572 degrees Fahrenheit.

If you walk up a bit from the bunker and you can see such a beautiful view. The distance from the bunker to the Merapi summit is less than 10 km. So you can see Merapi pretty close and clear (if the weather permits). The area feels really magical and is my favourite spot of this tour.

Preparation

The short Merapi Lava tour lasts for 2-hours. To make sure you are well prepared for the tour I would advise that you bring the following items:

• Water and a snack
• Optional: Sunblock and mask/a piece of cloth to cover your mouth and nose because it can be a bit dusty

The jeep driver who will be your guide (plus photographer too) usually has a basic level of English. If you wish to have a dedicated guide for a better explanation about what you see during the tour one can be arranged. This guide service is available at an additional cost.

Did you know that you can do a sunrise and a night package of the Merapi Lava Tour? The Sunrise Lava Tour starts at 4:00 am. There is also a Night Lava Tour that starts at 6-6.30 pm. The great thing about the tour is you have a spectacular view of the sky (again, if the weather permits)! Since I am a big fan of sunrises I am quite curious about the Sunrise Merapi Lava Tour. I have heard that people sometimes combine the Merapi Lava Tour with a visit to the Lost World Castle (I have never been there myself). I think it is like a theme park with some of funny photo opportunities. Maybe a fun place to go with kids or friends.

Book The Merapi Lava Tour

The Merapi lava tour is a nice adventure and perfect for the family. You also get to see and experience a side of Merapi that few visitors to Yogyakarta ever see. I’ve done the tour twice myself and it’s definitely something that I’d recommend to friends. If you’re interested in joining the Merapi Lava tour I can help arrange everything for you.

Included in the Package:

• Half day car rental
• Pick up and drop off at your hotel
• Jeep rental
• Pack lunch (optional)
• Dedicated guide (optional)

Hiking Mount Merapi: The Beauty of Fire Mountain

36 Comments

Acerca del volcan es impresionante para observar, porque cuando se encuentra en actividad quiere decir que en cualquier momento se producen la erupciones, cuanto me gustaria llegar a esa zona del Monte Merapi, como Geologo que soy estoy muy acostumbrado a la caminata porque en forma diaria camino entre 7 Km y 10 Km para poder mantener el cuerpo estoy acostumbrado a cualquier tipo de clima en el año o en altitudes que suoeran los 5000 msnm y en cualquier tipo de ambiente. Maximo

Hi Maximo, I don’t understand Spanish (I only understand several words). No entiendo. 🙁 Thanks for visiting my blog!

Kata Maximo menurut google translate (silakan diatur sendiri kalimatnya kak haha):

Tentang gunung berapi mengesankan untuk menonton, karena ketika Anda berada dalam bisnis berarti bahwa setiap saat letusan terjadi, bagaimana saya ingin untuk mencapai kawasan Gunung Merapi, sebagai Geologist saya saya sangat digunakan untuk berjalan karena setiap hari cara antara 7 Km dan 10 Km untuk menjaga body’m digunakan untuk segala jenis cuaca di tahun atau pada ketinggian 5000 m suoeran dan dalam lingkungan apapun.

Hahaha iya bisa pake google translate tapi takut salah artinya. 🙂 Thanks ya.

Kapan kapan ke sini aaaah… Udah lari2 tiap minggu nih aku. harusnya sih kuat ya hahaha…

Ayooo Mas Ndop pasti bisa!

keren banget merapi tournya, jadi pengehn ke sana

Aku nanggis meneteskan air mata saat berkunjung di museum sisa hartaku, ngebayangin bagaimana mereka menyelamatkan diri saat erupsi ihik ihik ihik

Iya kak? Kamu nangis di museum itu? O.o Aku sedih juga sih ngeliat barang-barangnya, tapi ga sampe nangis.

wajib di-bookmark nih !

kalo musim rada bersahabat & curah hujan udah ngga sederas sekarang, rencana pengin ke merapi. tulisan kak first ini cocok banget buat guiding kesana. trimikisiii .. 😀

Sama-sama kak. Jadi kapan mau ke Merapi? Mendaki atau Lava tour nih? 😀

Hopefully the illegal sand mining going on in the area doesn’t spoil any of those beautiful vistas – 500 trucks a day is an impressive number indeed!

Waktu itu kami ditawari untuk naik jeep ke Merapi tapi karena aku anaknya lebih suka jalan yawda kita jalan aja (bukan trekking summit ya). Nah, ternyata jalannya jauh pisan. Akhirnya cuma bisa nyampe ke rumahnya Alm. Mbak Marijan dan suasana di sana…menyedihkan. 🙁

Saya pengen ditemenin ke Merapinya mbak 😀

[…] tours to Borobudur and Prambanan, plus sometimes Ramayana Ballet. Another popular request is for tours hiking Merapi (feel free to check my Hiking Merapi Volcano video […]

Hi, I would like to book a tour but the “book now” link does not work for me. I have left my email address here, please contact me ASAP! Thank you 🙂

Hi,I would like to book a tour but ” book now ” it doesn’t work . I have leave my email address here, please contact me as soon as possible you can because i want to book the trip for tomorrow 🙂 Thank you ????????????

Mau tanya donk, kalau mau ikut tour ini misalkan kita bawa kendaraan pribadi sampai ke pos untuk naik jeep kira2 bisa gak dan di daerah mana? Terima kasih 🙂

Firsta, Can you recommend any local tour operator to help arrange? Thanks. Teo

Hi Teo, I’ll get in touch through email. 🙂

Hi Firsta, do u have whatapps or facebook so that i can ask you something privately and conveniently?

Hi Teo, Apologize for the late reply. I already sent an email to you regarding this matter.

Can you contact me as soon as possible as my family and i are going to arrange our transportation to travel Yogyakarta?

Haloo. Boleh minta contact nya untuk info lebih lanjut? Thank you 🙂

Hi Venska, Bisa email di discoveryourindonesia[at]gmail[dot]com 🙂 Thank you sudah mampir.

Hi there! Me and my friend were thinking of doing the tour on sunday. How do we go about checking times etc? Any tour guides that you know of which are good? Any tours which are cheap / student discount? Thanks

Apologize for the late reply. I hope you are having a great time in Yogyakarta 😀

Hi Firsta, Pls recommend a local tour for my family trip to Yogyakarta this July 2016. It’s a 4days/3nights tour.

Thank you. Lee

Hi Lee. I’d recommend reviewing the Yogya Package Tours . There are 4 day 3 Night packages available.

Nice blog! Would you have any details regarding the medium tour of Mt. Merapi? I will be doing the sunrise tour in Borobudur and was thinking of heading out to do the Merapi tour after before I head on catch the sunset at Prambanan. What would you recommend, the short or medium tour given the time constraints? Also, can I just book the tour at the site just in case we decide to change our itinerary on the day itself? Lastly, is there a food stall nearby where we can have some lunch?

Hi Alexis. I emailed you regarding your enquiry.

You have a wonderful website- it’s super informative. Do you have a tour that includes Borobudur, Prambanan, and Mt. Merapi? If not, how many days would be needed to see those three sites?

What are the costs for transportation to and from the train station?

Hi Mike. Thanks for getting in touch. There is no tour that combines all three activities, but you can do those activities as a shared tour. It would take two days to do the tour (Borobudur and Prambanan in the morning and then overnight at Merapi). The cost to and from the train station would obviously depend on where you are planning to go.

Hello Firsta, Izzit possible to hike the Mt Merapi on this coming August as just erupted by May 2018? Thinking to hike and overnight for a sunset trip.

Hi Ryan, It is tough to predict. At the moment it is still not possible to do hiking activity in Merapi.

Dear Firsta, Would like to know the route taken by the jeep tour. Which jeep tour would take us to the top and see the crater? Is the tour suitable for senior citizen?

After the lava

When Indonesia’s Mount Merapi erupted in 2010, lava come pouring down the slopes at 110km/h. The villages in its path didn’t stand a chance!

Written by Michael Turtle

Mount Merapi, Indonesia

In October 2010, the most active volcano in Indonesia launched one of its fiercest attacks in modern history.

For days it spewed out molten lava and ash. The ground shook from hundreds of seismic quakes.

When the dust finally settled, 353 people had been killed.

Mount Merapi should be feared. But for many Javanese people, it is also revered.

he volcano, near the city of Yogyakarta, has been mythologised for centuries by the local people. It has been part of their creationism stories… but, in reality, it has also brought finalities.

The local people had plenty of warnings about the series of eruptions that began in October 2010. Thankfully – otherwise the death toll would have been much worse.

The surrounding area was evacuated of 350,000 people. The hundreds who died either didn’t leave or went back too early.

It’s hard to imagine what an erupting volcano would be like up close. But when you hear some of the statistics, you realise you wouldn’t have a chance.

In 2010, the lava flows from Mount Merapi reached speeds of up to 110 kilometres an hour and went as far as 13 kilometres. Ash was falling more than 30 kilometres away.

At one point, a huge fire ball was blown 2 kilometres high into the sky, raining sand up to 10 kilometres away.

At one of the most dangerous stages, ash and gas were spewing 5 kilometres into the sky for more than an hour.

The Mount Merapi eruptions have left scars – for humans and the landscapes. Let’s look first at what it did to the communities in the path of the lava.

Museum Sisa Hartaku

I’m on my way up towards the top of Mount Merapi. On the lower slopes of the mountain are lots of small towns and villages.

There are farms and restaurants. As I go higher up and the vegetation gets thicker, the communities become more sparse.

At one of the towns, I stop. The houses here are no longer lived in – they’re just shells of what they once were.

Concrete ruins left over after lava rushed through and destroyed anything that could be burned or melted.

There’s a small museum set up in the walls of one of the former houses. It’s called Museum Sisa Hartaku and was put together by a former resident.

She has collected items from the area that were damaged by the lava flows and it’s terrifying to see examples of the power of an eruption.

Twisted metal; melted plastic, half a motorbike; a clock that’s stopped at the exact moment of the destruction.

This is how a town ends up looking when it’s in the shadow of one of the world’s most dangerous volcanoes.

Mount Merapi jeep tour

The most common way for visitors to explore Mount Merapi is with a jeep tour. There are a few companies that offer the tour and, when you see the roads further up the mountain, you understand why you can’t do this in a normal car.

Bouncing about as we speed over humps and swing around holes, I hold on to a bar tightly and try not to get thrown out. Surely it’s possible to drive smoother and slower, I think.

When the driver suddenly veers off the road and up a hillock just so he can do circles in the mud, I realise that this is part of the experience. Come for the volcano, get the death-defying drive as well!

It’s been raining recently so there are plenty of puddles to make the drive even more thrilling, crashing through them and spraying water everywhere as we speed along the track.

But what I’m not expecting is that we would drive right into a dam. As we drive through the water at high speed, veering at sharp angles, I get soaked by the splash of the other jeeps that have joined us in there.

Gosh, it’s good fun, though, and we do a few laps. Check out this short video from the experience:

Kaliadem Bunker

Back to Mount Merapi, though, and we make it up the volcano to the highest point that the jeep can go, a village called Kaliadem. It’s just 4 kilometres from the top and was destroyed by lava.

A bunker dug into the ground, designed to protect anyone left behind, has survived.

From here you can see the top of Mount Merapi. But what’s more noticeable is the enormous gorge that has been cut into the ground. This is the path some of the lava took, ploughing its way down the mountain, burning a permanent scar into the earth as it went.

Such heat, such speed, such force. Even years later, seeing the physical trauma, you can start to get a sense of the power of this volcano.

Some of Kaliadem village has been rebuilt, though. Shops and restaurants have appeared where the jeeps stop – simple ones but full of life as visitors cram in for a coffee and to compare the craziness of their drivers.

I have seen enough evidence today of why we should fear Mount Merapi, the menacing giant standing over us, fury rumbling inside waiting to burst out again. But I can also see why it has been revered for so many centuries.

As I sit with my coffee, surrounded by people from around the world who have made the journey here, I look out towards the summit and realise it will always be that way.

THE BEST ACCOMMODATION IN YOGYAKARTA

There are some really cool places in Yogyakarta, which is just would you would expect from one of Indonesia’s most creative cities.

If you’re looking for a backpacker option, I would recommend the cool Cubic Jogja .

A good cheap and comfortable hotel is Aloha Hotel .

For some ecofriendly accommodation, there’s the affordable Greenhost Boutique Hotel in a good location.

And when it comes to luxury, I would recommend the Sofia Boutique Residence .

7 thoughts on “After the lava”

Good post. I always have a habit of seeing only beauty of the nature. But it has an opposite side too. U made me think about the darker side of the nature and the suffering of people over there.

Worth reading. keep posting.

Great post, it is so beautiful place but lava ruins beauty of that palce. it is very sad news for its peoples and hope nature will recover it soon.

Merapi is very special for me. I have climbed it 6 times. The last time I climbed this mountain was July 2010, just several months before the 2010 eruption. If you want to know how the crater view is, climb it. It’s very worthy. It needs about 5-6 hours to climb til the summit. If you start at midnight, then you reach the summit at dawn, and you can watch the sunrise from there. If you start at early evening, then you can build tent just near the top at the midnight. Wake up an hour before sunrise and hike to the summit. Then you get the sunrise. It’s an amazing view. Anyway, your post is great.

Amazing post. I love explore a new place. If Merapi did not effect by volcano, it will be a beautiful travel site. Great photos and good experience. Thanks for share. Thomas

Lovely pictures you managed to take even in a bad weather.

I love those gorges. They’re dramatic and shows how scary the lava was.

Great post! I found the atmosphere at the museum rather chilling, all these everyday objects melted and reduced to ash and rubble. Quite a sight. When you look at ancient eruption sites like Pompeii you are somewhat removed from it due to the thousand of years that separate you from the people that used to live there. But Mount Marapi is so recent it feels very real. As others said before, fantastic photos considering the poor weather we had!

Jeep Lava Tour Merapi Off Road Experience in Mount Merapi

Jeep Lava Tour Merapi Off Road Experience in Mount Merapi. This is one of the best experience in Mount Merapi . Only IDR  (to rent a jeep and all entrance fees), I can have 1-hour track visiting the effected area of eruption

The first place was the house that turned into museum to show us how the ASHES ONLY from the eruption can burn down the whole house and even melt down the tv, laptop, and glassware). If you are lucky enough (and yes we were lucky enough), you can meet the owner of the house and ask him to tell us more about the eruption, what happened, how it feels, and he will show you his personal pictures.

After that, we also visited the bunker that killed 2 volunteers because they were late to close the bunker door. But then again, the bunker wasn’t build to take that temperature that literally turn the bunker to be the oven :((

It super sad to see it actually and imagine how did they feel there.. You also will see how the river, clear-water river, turn into pile of sand & dust with the majestic background of mount Merapi.

Olivia Moore The Pancake Pantry 123 Fictional Lane Nashville, TN 37011

Dear Ms. Moore,

As a seasoned waitress with a solid eight-year track record and a die-hard fan of southern-style pancakes, I’m confident I’d rock as a part of The Pancake Pantry team. Just like I relish every bite of a well-stacked blueberry pancake, I dig roles that push my multitasking skills and boost my abilities.

During my time at The Loveless Cafe, I sharpened my ability to take swift and correct orders. Using restaurant order software like TouchBistro helped cut order errors by 11%, helping maintain a nice and steady customer satisfaction score of 84%.

On top of that, I’ve got quite an eye for setting up tables and creating a visually pleasing dining atmosphere. This talent notably enhanced the dining experience at The Catbird Seat, another spot I’ve added to my resume, facilitating a 16% increase in tip rate.

But wait, there’s more. among my arsenal of skills is a deft hand at handling trays. Over at Biscuit Love, I frequently carried hefty tray loads without breaking a sweat—or a dish. My nifty tray handling usually lets me serve 12% more tables every shift, bumping up customer service and the overall productivity of our team.

While I’ve learned some priceless lessons from these past roles, I’m psyched to bring my fiery passion for top-notch dining and smooth service to The Pancake Pantry. I look forward to chatting about how my multitasking, precision, and tech savviness could help create a dining experience your patrons will never forget. Thanks for considering me.

123 Fictional Avenue Honolulu, HI 96795 (123) 456-7890

Mason Lewis Duke’s Waikiki 123 Fictional Lane Honolulu, HI 96795

Dear Mr. Lewis,

A fervent admirer of the hospitality industry with a background in fast-paced food service environments, I am pleased to offer my unique skills to Duke’s Waikiki as an entry-level waitress. Being adept in table setting and clearing, mixology, and wine service, I am fired up to deliver exceptional experiences that leave lasting memories for your valued customers.

The diverse and dynamic Royal Hawaiian, where I interned for six months, was a fertile training ground for mastering table setting and clearing. Creatively setting tables and executing expedient table clearing surged the table turnover rate by an impressive 21%. My proficiency with Toast POS software enhanced my efficiency, facilitating a swift and smooth dining experience for our guests.

Volunteering as a bartender at Mai Tai Bar, a beacon of Honolulu’s vibrant nightlife, allowed me to refine and showcase my cocktail creation and service skills. The result? A substantial 23% boost in evening sales. Additionally, honing techniques in properly opening and serving wine and deepening my understanding of various wine varieties delighted connoisseur patrons. This facilitated a robust 26% increase in average wine sales.

I further enriched my customer service skills in a one-year co-op at Hyatt Centric Waikiki Beach. By leveraging my bilingual ability in English and Spanish, I fostered a welcoming atmosphere for diverse guests. My knack for understanding customer needs and my trained ability to manage high-stress situations saw a notable uptick of more than 18% in positive guest feedback surveys.

As part of the energetic Duke’s Waikiki team, I bring a well-blended mix of superlative customer service skills, advanced mixology techniques, table setting, clearing expertise, and deftness in wine handling. I look forward to discussing opportunities for these skills to elevate Duke’s Waikiki’s commitment to offering unmatched hospitality experiences. Thank you for considering my application.

The inspiring stories I’ve heard about Upland’s exceptional dining experience for every patron offer a compelling testament to the restaurant’s dedication to quality, hospitality, and integrity.

Such experiences have honed my ability to effectively offer menu recommendations and additional information. Furthermore, my proficiency in various restaurant management software, including Micros RES, OpenTable, and Restaurant365, aligns with the technical skills required for seamless order-taking and delivery.

My tenure at Trinity Place has ingrained in me the importance of teamwork, effective communication, and speedy service—qualities you seek in a candidate. I have consistently received positive customer feedback for my attentiveness, patience, and positive attitude, underscoring my commitment to fostering a pleasurable dining experience.

123 Fictional Avenue Detroit, MI 48127 (123) 456-7890

James Hill Punch Bowl Social Detroit 123 Fictional Lane Detroit, MI 48127

Dear Mr. Hill,

As a local who’s been hearing stories about the decor and vibe at Punch Bowl Social Detroit, I realized that being a mixologist with a way with people, I could put my skills to work in creating great nights out for others. I bring a deep knowledge of mixology, garnishing skills, and a firm grasp of Michigan’s liquor laws that I’m ready to put to work behind your bar. I’m proficient in combining flavors, decorating cocktails, and collaborating with a team to deliver peak evening experiences you can proudly associate with Punch Bowl Social Detroit.

After working at Candy Bar Detroit, where I experimented with bespoke cocktails that eventually spiked sales by 36%, I realized how important it was to understand the nuances of customer’s preferences. Along the way, I strictly adhered to Michigan liquor laws, balancing the establishment’s needs with the enjoyment of its patrons.

My passion for garnishing became apparent when I was at The Sugar House, where my garnishing techniques were noted by patrons and even led to an increase in cocktail orders by up to 18%. The aesthetic appeal of my cocktails didn’t just make them Instagrammable but also increased customer satisfaction by a measurable amount.

Working at a busy bar-top at The Keep, where cocktails flowed like Detroit’s river, I learned to make drinks in sync with my colleague’s banter and the rhythm of the music. My speed and accuracy led to an 11% increase in customer retention rates. This speed and precision would translate directly into satisfying your clientele’s thirst and social needs.

Having racked up experience in mixology, garnishing, and local liquor laws, I believe my role at Punch Bowl Social Detroit would be a winner for both of us. I’m eager to tackle any ordeals, whether it’s a packed night or a tricky cocktail, and you’ll see why once we’ve chatted about the role more. Thank you, and I can’t wait to hear from you.

Amina Bello

• Mixology skills, knowledge of local liquor laws, understanding customer preferences, and fostering sales rank high in the skills and wins to outline in your piece. Subtle casualness is acceptable.

How to Format a Waitress Cover Letter

You’ve probably heard plenty about how your resume should line up with the job description , and your cover letter should pair with it just as deliciously! (We mean stuff like not over-selling your deep frying skills to a recruiter seeking a waitress to recommend wine pairings.)

Read the job description thoroughly and look for any of your job skills that overlap with their requirements. Try to match their emphasis when you select your experience points and success stories to share.

Waitress cover letter introduction

Always address your waitress cover letter to someone by name. If the job description doesn’t clearly name the recruiter or hiring manager who’s handling this role, do some added research. (Pulling up a few tabs with company info will help you throughout the rest of your process, too!)

After your formal, personalized greeting, it’s time to create an opening paragraph to grab the reader’s attention and keep them reading.

Connect with the company by aligning with relevant values you might have found in the original job ad or on the company website. Sprinkle in a few of your qualifying skills as you use those values to state why you want to be their next waitress.

Don’t write an overly casual, unprofessional opener like this one, which provides no solid examples of qualifications or a connection to the organization:

What’s up,

I’m super excited about this job and I really need it. I can walk really fast and I love food! Let me tell you more about myself.

This one opens much more professionally, offers solid skills, and creates a way more intriguing connection with the actual establishment:

Mmm, that’s better!

A fervent admirer of the hospitality industry with a background in fast-paced food service environments, I am pleased to offer my unique skills to Duke’s Waikiki as an entry-level waitress. Being adept in table setting and clearing, mixology, and wine service, I am fired up to deliver exceptional experiences that leave lasting memories for your valued customers.

Waitress cover letter body

The body paragraphs in your cover letter are like the main course, guiding the reader through a series of delightful tidbits about your qualifications.

Think of a really impressive experience from your job history and compare it against the job description . Maybe you boosted restaurant ratings with the same attention to detail that caught an easily missed order adjustment. If it aligns with the job requirements, it might just land you the job.

Just keep each paragraph focused on one main success story about the positive impact you left in the industry. Oh, and always provide metrics like customer feedback ratings, sales percentages, or efficiency ratings to give your claims substance.

Example of a well-made body paragraph

During my time at The Loveless Cafe, I sharpened my ability to take swift and correct orders. Using restaurant order software like TouchBistro, I helped cut order errors by 11%, contributing to a nice and steady customer satisfaction score of 84%.

Waitress cover letter closing

Just as you’d ask your diners “Would we care for any desserts this evening?” you’ll need to close off your cover letter with something satisfactory that leaves the reader wanting to come back again. Quickly outline once again why you want the job and how well you’re aligned with it already.

Make sure you add a spritz of desirable traits or skills that connect with the job and the establishment as a whole. And don’t forget your call to action, which should invite further discussion of your waitress qualifications.

And you know how priceless good manners are. Make sure you thank the reader for their time! If you don’t thank them within your closer paragraph, you can use a Thank-you as your signoff. Just make sure that any signoff you use is highly professional, and concludes with your real, full name.

Don’t write a closer like this: we’ve got typos, zero re-connection with the organization, and a completely informal tone and signoff.

Pretty cool, rihgt? Let me know when I can start because I really want to get into restaurant jobs.

Instead, see how some quick, applicable skills pair with ambition and a connection with the establishment to set off that powerful call to action:

What a well-rounded closer!

Having racked up experience in mixology, garnishing, and local liquor laws, I believe my role at Punch Bowl Social Detroit would be a winner for both of us. I’m eager to tackle any obstacle, whether it’s a packed night or a tricky cocktail, and you’ll see why once we’ve chatted about the role more. Thank you for your time, and I can’t wait to hear from you.

Revisit the job description and the business’ website to get a feel for what kind of environment they promote. Whether you write with formal, super-classy wording or a more casual tone should depend on how they sound so that you demonstrate your great fit.

If you can’t find the recipient of your waitress cover letter in the original job post or on their website, look for professional social media accounts. Facebook and LinkedIn are often good sources!

If you have some impressive additions that add value to your application package, yes! Just write “Enclosures:” at the bottom of your letter and list any food safety certifications, professional recommendations from former employers or mentors, etc., that you’ve got up your sleeve.

To write a great waiter/waitress cover letter, build your document around your most compelling achievements and experiences within the hospitality industry. Highlight your ability to drive guest satisfaction and deliver an exceptional dining experience. Emphasize your background collaborating with back of the house and wait staff to enhance restaurant operations. Below, we’ll walk you through each section of your waiter/waitress cover letter:

1. Contact information and salutation

List all essential contact information at the top of your waiter/waitress cover letter, including your name, phone number, email, and LinkedIn URL. Greet the hiring manager by name — Mr. or Ms. [Last Name]. If you can’t find the hiring manager’s name, use a variation of “Dear Hiring Manager.” Avoid salutations such as “To Whom It May Concern,” as these greetings are less personal and widely considered outdated.

2. Introduction

Open your waiter/waitress cover letter with a strong introductory paragraph to grab the attention of potential employers. Emphasize your years of experience within the hospitality industry and mention restaurants you’ve worked for in the past. Feature one of your most impressive career achievements to demonstrate your customer service, sales, and serving skills.

In the example below, the candidate highlights the types of establishments they’ve worked for in the past. They also focus on highlighting their exceptional sales skills using hard numbers. This helps to show their keen attention to detail, which is essential for any server position. By featuring deeper insights into your hospitality background, you can strengthen the impact of your waiter/waitress cover letter.

Say something specific about the restaurant’s reputation and why this draws you to apply for the opportunity. Demonstrate your ability to deliver exceptional service to guests during high-volume periods and support the restaurant’s image through positive interactions.

Notice how this candidate personalizes their application by showing their familiarity with the establishment’s cuisine. They also establish how their experience working in high-volume chain restaurants will allow them to transition into fine dining. Telling your unique story is a great way to help your waiter/waitress cover letter stand out in today’s job market.

Below, we’ve gathered a variety of skills you can consider adding to your waiter/waitress cover letter:

In the conclusion of your waiter/waitress cover letter, include a call to action (CTA) that invites the hiring manager to bring you in for an interview. Further emphasize how your background within the hospitality space can positively impact sales or guest satisfaction.

Waiter/Waitress Cover Letter Tips

1. use specific examples to highlight your serving skills.

When detailing your serving skills, provide tangible examples of your unique experiences within the restaurant industry. In the example below, the server wants to transition from a chain restaurant to a fine dining establishment. Although they don’t have experience working in an upscale environment, the candidate provides key details about their time at Olive Garden that showcase their capabilities as a waiter.

They included those insights because many of the menu items are refillable without additional charge. This position can be especially challenging for even an experienced server during peak hours. By providing these details, the candidate showcases time management skills that are transferable across the hospitality space.

• As a waiter at Olive Garden, I delivered a high-quality dining experience to guests in a fast-paced, high-volume restaurant. Due to the unlimited refills for more than half of the menu items, this position required quick thinking under pressure to ensure guest satisfaction. These experiences have allowed me to develop an advanced understanding of guest relations and time management, which will allow me to thrive in the server position at your restaurant.

2. Quantify your serving experience

Sales experience is a crucial aspect of any waiter or waitress position. To capture the hiring manager’s interest, leverage numbers and metrics from throughout your serving career. If you generated substantial revenue, the monetary figure should be prioritized over a percentage. But if you aren’t confident that the dollar figure is high enough to impress the reader, use percentages to show how you exceeded monthly or weekly sales goals. In the example below, the applicant has experience working in a fine dining establishment and effectively demonstrates their sales and customer service capabilities:

• Delivered high-quality service to over 100 guests per day, upsold high-end seafood entrees and specialty cocktail beverages, generated over $95,000 in annual sales, achieved guest satisfaction ratings of 90%, and contributed to a 5-star Google ranking

3. Feature your leadership abilities

Your ability to work collaboratively with both front-of-the-house and back-of-the-house staff is valuable to hiring managers within the restaurant industry. Communication breakdowns between servers and kitchen personnel are a frequent cause of operational issues for many establishments, so your leadership abilities are important to feature in your cover letter. In the example below, the candidate provides a strong example of coordinating with each of the various team members to improve food service delivery and communication protocols:

• Coordinated with the front and back of the house and management to improve guest satisfaction metrics from 78% to 92% by enhancing communication protocols and providing training to servers on effective usage of the POS system for custom items and guest requests

• Emphasizing relevant experience, such as orchestrating a menu overhaul that shows initiative and a collaborative spirit with kitchen staff, can underscore an applicant's suitability for a leadership role within a restaurant.
• Quantifying achievements with specific metrics, for instance the 25% increase in orders and the reduction in customer wait times, provides tangible evidence of an applicant's impact and capability to enhance the dining experience.
• Demonstrating an understanding of the prospective employer's values, such as their commitment to quality and service, and mirroring that in the cover letter can create a sense of alignment between the applicant's personal ethos and the restaurant's culture.
• Expressing a genuine enthusiasm to grow with the establishment and a desire to contribute positively can signify a proactive and ambitious mindset, which is often sought after for roles in dynamic service environments.

The format of your waitress cover letter: structure, fonts, margins, and more

Your waitress cover letter should include a header (with your name, position, and date); a greeting and introductory paragraph; a body and closing paragraphs; and an optional signature.

Remember that you're writing your waitress cover letter for recruiters - as the Applicant Tracker System won't scan this content.

Here are a few more tips and tricks to keep in mind when formatting your waitress cover letter:

• Use the same font in your waitress cover letter and resume . We recommend modern fonts, e.g. Lato and Rubik, to help you stand out, instead of the stereotypical Arial and Times New Roman.
• Each paragraph should have single spacing, which is already set up for you in our cover letter templates .
• Our cover letter builder follows industry standards for your waitress cover letter formatting - with a one-inch margin, surrounding your content.
• Always export your waitress cover letter in PDF to ensure the image or text quality stays the same and your writing isn't moved about.

The top sections on a waitress cover letter

• Header: Includes the applicant's contact information, the date, and the employer's contact details, which is crucial for ensuring the letter reaches the right person and for potential follow-up correspondence.
• Greeting: It's important to address the hiring manager or restaurant owner by name if possible, as it demonstrates attention to detail and a personalized approach, much like service in the hospitality industry.
• Introduction: In this section, the waitress should clearly state the position she's applying for and express her enthusiasm for the role, which sets the tone for a friendly and engaging cover letter, reflecting the interpersonal skills required for the job.
• Experience and Skills: This part should highlight relevant work history and specific skills like menu knowledge, order accuracy, and superior customer service, which are key to convincing the recruiter of the applicant's suitability for the waitress position.
• Closing and Call to Action: The applicant should end the cover letter by expressing gratitude for the opportunity to apply, reiterating interest in the position, and inviting the recruiter to schedule an interview, showing eagerness and proactivity.

Key qualities recruiters search for in a candidate’s cover letter

• Excellent communication skills: Crucial for accurately taking customer orders and effectively communicating with kitchen staff and team members.
• Strong interpersonal skills: Necessary to interact positively with a diverse range of customers, ensuring a pleasant dining experience.
• Proven ability to multitask: Essential in managing multiple tables, remembering order details, and providing timely service during busy shifts.
• Attention to detail: Important for ensuring orders are correct, special dietary requirements are met, and billing is accurate.
• Physical stamina and agility: Required to handle long shifts on foot and carry trays or plates without compromising service speed or customer experience.
• Experience with point-of-sale systems: Beneficial for efficiently processing orders and payments in a modern dining establishment.

How to greet recruiters in your waitress cover letter salutation

As the saying goes, "You never get a second chance to make a first impression."

Write your waitress cover letter salutation to be more personalized to the actual hiring manager, who is set to assess your profile by:

• greeting them on a first-name basis, if you have previously communicated with them (e.g. "Dear Sam,");
• using their last name, if you have more formal communication or haven't spoken to them (e.g. "Dear Mr. Harrows" or "Dear Ms. Marshall");
• writing "Dear HR Team" or "Dear Hiring Manager", if you have no clue about who's recruiting for the role.

Search on LinkedIn, Google, or the company website to find information as to the recruiter's name.

In any case, avoid the impersonal "Dear Sir or Madam".

List of salutations you can use

• Dear [Restaurant Name] Team,
• Dear [Hiring Manager's Name],
• Dear [Employer's Title] [Employer's Last Name],
• Dear [Employer's Full Name],
• Dear [Employer's Title and Last Name],

The waitress cover letter intro: aligning your interest with the company culture

You only have one chance at making a memorable first impression on recruiters with your waitress cover letter.

Structure your introduction to be precise and to include no more than two sentences.

Here are some ideas on how to write a job-winning waitress cover letter introduction:

• get creative - show off your personality from the get-go (if this aligns with the company culture);
• focus on your motivation - be specific when you say what gets you excited about this opportunity.

Choosing your best achievement for the middle or body of your waitress cover letter

Now that you have the recruiters' attention, it's time to write the chunkiest bit of your waitress cover letter .

The body consists of three to six paragraphs that focus on one of your achievements.

Use your past success to tell a story of how you obtained your most job-crucial skills and know-how (make sure to back these up with tangible metrics).

Another excellent idea for your waitress cover letter's middle paragraphs is to shine a light on your unique professional value.

Write consistently and make sure to present information that is relevant to the role.

A sincere and original way to end your waitress cover letter

When writing their waitress cover letter, candidates tend to use one of these phrases, "Sincerely yours" or "I look forward to hearing from you".

Both statements show good manners, but your cover letter should end in a more actionable manner .

Write about:

• how you see yourself growing in the role/organization;
• the benefits you would bring about (you'd impress even more with tangible metrics);
• the next steps in the process (provide your availability for interviews).

Keep this in mind when writing your zero experience waitress cover letter

Even though you may not have any professional experience , your waitress cover letter should focus on your value.

As a candidate for the particular role, what sort of skills do you bring about? Perhaps you're an apt leader and communicator, or have the ability to analyze situations from different perspectives.

Select one key achievement from your life, outside work, and narrate a story that sells your abilities in the best light.

If you really can't think of any relevant success, you could also paint the picture of how you see your professional future developing in the next five years, as part of the company.

Key takeaways

Creating your waitress cover letter should be a personalized experience for the role and the recruiter, where you:

• Format your cover letter using the same ATS-friendly font (e.g. Railway) as you did for your resume;
• Greet recruiters, using their name, and follow up with two sentences to introduce yourself, your interest in the role, and to stand out;
• Map out one key success from your career (or life) that has taught you job-crucial skills;
• Substitute your lack of experience with an achievement from your internships, degrees, or volunteering gigs;
• End with a promise for your potential or your availability for an interview.

Cover letter header, cover letter greeting, cover letter introduction, cover letter body, cover letter conclusion and signature, how to land a waitress job with no experience.

If you’re in need of a summer job, part-time work, quick cash or even a new career, there are few better options than waitressing. These positions allow for flexible or evening hours, on-the-job training and plenty of social interaction. If you're looking for a job like this, an outstanding waitress cover letter is a great place to start.

The best waitressing positions can be quite competitive. You’ll need to show off your relevant experience, top skills and shining personality to catch the hiring manager’s attention and make a great first impression.

Luckily, this doesn’t have to be difficult. A great cover letter can put you miles ahead of other candidates and give you an advantage even if you have little to no work experience.

With Resume.io’s arsenal of tools, samples and writing guides, you’ll be able to create an excellent cover letter for any server position with ease. This guide will:

• Explain the unique role of the cover letter in helping you land your dream job
• Offer free samples to use as models

• Highlight the most important skills for first-time job seekers for wait staff positions

Waitress cover letter general info

If you’re applying for your first summer job or if it’s been a while since you changed positions, it’s a good idea to first understand what exactly a great cover letter entails.

A cover letter is a one-page document, roughly 200 to 400 words, that accompanies your resume to expand on your most relevant experience and explain why you’re an excellent candidate for the position.

As you might have noticed, a resume’s structure is rather rigid. While it’s perfect for conveying dates, names and degrees, it doesn’t offer much to show off your communication skills. That’s where your cover letter comes in.

Also known as an application letter, this document allows you to make a personal connection with an employer and highlight your greatest achievements that might have slipped under the radar on your resume. No wonder a cover letter is one of the most requested application materials.

What if the waitress job description doesn't require a cover letter?

Hiring in the food service industry is quite often an informal affair. Some restaurants even skip the online application process common in other industries and favor emailed or physical applications instead.

You’ll likely run into a situation where an application or hiring manager forgets to mention whether a cover letter is necessary. So should you write one?

While other applicants might think this is an easy way to save themselves some time and effort, they are likely just prolonging their job search. A cover letter is one of the best ways to convince a hiring manager they should take a chance on you – especially if you have no previous connection to the restaurant or no previous waitressing experience.

The small time investment in writing a thoughtful cover letter can pay off big-time when you land your dream position. That’s why, unless a job description asks you NOT to, it’s always a good idea to submit a cover letter with every application.

The job search is all about strategy. While there’s no one thing you can do to guarantee success, there are many steps you can take to maximize your chances. Writing a great cover letter is one of them. 

That’s because this document allows you to show off what makes you stand apart and convince an employer that you’re the right choice for their restaurant. One of the best ways to do this is with short anecdotes that showcase how you handled challenges on previous jobs.  

One of the greatest advantages of waitress positions is that many of the skills can be learned on the job. Even if you have no previous experience, highlighting customer service skills, a personable approach and a strong work ethic can often be enough to catch a hiring manager’s attention.

Before you submit your cover letter, tailor it.

If there’s one tip that can make the difference between a mediocre cover letter and one that leads to a job, it’s this: Make sure to tailor your cover letter to each restaurant you apply to.

Tailoring your cover letter means adjusting it to include the most relevant samples and achievements for each specific position. For example, a fine dining Japanese restaurant might be much more concerned with your attention to detail and presentation than a family-style diner more focused on efficiency and a cheery disposition. 

While it might take a few minutes to swap out some of your text, this simple step will pay dividends when the employer notices you’ve taken the time to explain why their restaurant interests you and why you’re the right fit.

• The greeting
• The letter introduction
• The letter body
• The conclusion
• The signature

Your cover letter header is one of the best places to grab a hiring manager’s attention and align yourself with the restaurant’s branding. The purpose of this section is twofold. The header’s first job is to identify your document and keep your name, phone number and other contact details right at the restaurant manager’s fingertips.

The second goal of your header is to create attractive formatting that makes your application stand out. Since this is one of the few places you’ll be able to add color and other design flourishes, it’s worth taking a moment to reflect on what type of image those choices present. 

The goal of this section: Make your name and essential information easy for a hiring manager to spot, and create attractive formatting that presents an appropriate image.

Align document styles

One of the best things you can do to take your application to the next level is to align the document styles of your resume and cover letter. This simple step helps you to create a “personal brand” – a visual stamp that identifies your materials as belonging to you and helps you stand out in the hiring manager’s mind.

Aligning your document styles doesn’t have to be difficult. Resume.io’s variety of resume and cover letter templates can make this process as easy as a few clicks. Plus, you’ll be able to choose from a variety of styles that help you fit in with the restaurant’s image. For examples, fun colors and a bold header font might work great for a trendy taco spot, while a neutral color palette is likely to be appreciated in fine dining establishments.

Your cover letter greeting is a small but powerful element. This is where you’ll have the best chance of making a personal connection by addressing the letter recipient by name. Make sure to choose the greeting that is most appropriate based on your level of familiarity with the employer. “Dear” followed by the correct salutation and the restaurant owner or hiring manager’s last name works well for most formal situations. You may also opt for “Hi” or “Hello” or even a first name if you already have a relationship with your prospective employer.

The goal of this section: Address the restaurant manager or owner by name to create a personal connection and a polite, respectful tone.

Dear Ms. Overton,

The importance of using actual names in greetings

As a waitress, you’re probably already familiar with the power of names. Remembering customers' names and giving them yours can quickly establish a rapport that keeps diners coming in the door. Not every restaurant has that vibe, but those that do use it as an amazing tool for a positive emotional connection that keeps everyone happy.

In fact, the positive effects of using names have been well-documented by science: studies have shown an actual neurochemical response in the brain to reading or hearing our own names. You can also use this tactic to your advantage in your cover letter. By addressing the restaurant manager or owner by name (usually the last name), you show interest in the position and a willingness to go a step further than other candidates.  If you don’t know who handles hiring for the restaurant and there’s no way to find out, you still have some options. A collective noun is likely your best choice – “Dear (Restaurant Name) Team” or “Hello (Restaurant Name) Family” could work well, depending on the establishment.

Your cover letter introduction is the place to make a statement – as long as it’s a professional one! This is where you’ll want to make a great first impression with a relevant fact, relatable anecdote or exciting personal statement. You’ll want to show off your sparkling personality right from the start, while making sure to address the most important skills for the job. Remember, restaurant managers are busy people – so make your introduction worth their time.

The goal of this section: Introduce yourself in an attention-grabbing way by using a personal statement, relevant fact or interesting anecdote that leads into the body of your letter.

Working as a waitress at my parents’ Italian restaurant during my teenage years taught me how efficiency and attitude combine to create a warm and authentic dining experience.

Your cover letter body is the biggest section of your document, but it doesn’t have to be difficult. This is where you’ll dive into all your most relevant achievements, personality traits and the qualities that set you apart. To simplify the writing process, you can divide this section into two parts.

In the first, try using the STAR method to describe a S ituation you faced in the past, the T ask required of you, the A ction you took and the ensuing positive R esult. Make sure to choose examples that are most relevant for the type of restaurant and work you’ll be doing.

In the second section, you can discuss your top skills and possible contributions to the potential position to allow the employer to envision you in the role.

The goal of this section: Use the STAR method to detail your most interesting and relevant experiences and achievements, and discuss your potential contributions to the restaurant you're targeting.

I quickly understood that by being present for the diners I could sense when someone wanted to make a different menu choice, was unsure about their wine selection or just wanted to have a friendly chat. For some, speed and efficiency were paramount, especially at lunchtime, but others wanted a little more interaction in their dining experience. My Italian heritage gives me a naturally warm disposition, something that I know fits in with your core values. I am applying for the part-time waitressing role to complement my hospitality studies, but I am most interested in participating in your renowned training program and learning from some of your award-winning leaders. Hospitality is an industry that is best learned in front of customers, and I hope that my passion and drive to improve will be an asset to you. Thanks to my traditional Italian upbringing, my knowledge of food and wine combinations is unsurpassed, and I may even be able to contribute a little in terms of product knowledge for my colleagues. I am a committed collaborator and know that every employee is part of the “kitchen.” I have been used to working under pressure since I was 14 years old and I always retain a cheerful and calm demeanor, no matter what the situation.

You’re in the home stretch. All that’s left to do is close out your cover letter in a polite and positive way. A call to action does just that. This sentence expresses your enthusiasm for the position and invites the hiring manager to get in touch. You may also leave your contact information here again. 

Then, finish the letter with the appropriate signature. “Best,” “Sincerely” or even “Thank you” can all work well depending on your relationship with the employer.

The goal of this section: Create an effective call to action that encourages a restaurant manager to contact you and close out your letter politely and respectfully.

I would welcome the chance to come and work for a shift or two so that you might be able to see me in action. Talking about being a waitress in an interview is difficult. Letting me show you how I send customers away with a smile on their faces is something else entirely. Sincerely, Chelsea Grant

Cover letter for waitress job with no experience – writing tips

For waitressing positions, there are a few key qualities you’ll want to convey on your cover letter. 

• Positive communication skills: A friendly smile and cheery disposition will ensure a pleasant dining experience and plenty of repeat customers. Show off your personality in the tone of your cover letter or with concrete examples of the way your customer service led to increased tips or better reviews for the restaurant.
• Efficiency: Speedy service keeps everyone happy. The quicker food is delivered, the more customers a restaurant can serve in a day. Your cover letter is a great place to show how you take initiative, accurately remember orders and special requests, and work efficiently to improve both the customer experience and the restaurant’s bottom line.
• Attention to detail: As a waitress, you are the authority on the restaurant and its cuisine. That means understanding menu items and being able to quickly describe the soup du jour. You’ll also need to remember custom orders and pay attention to the needs of each table. Your attention to detail keeps customers satisfied but also keeps the restaurant from losing money in terms of food waste.
• Ability to sell: One of the most nuanced parts of serving is mastering the upsell and encouraging customers to order appetizers, drinks and desserts in addition to their main courses. This increases a restaurant’s earnings and – if you’re a tipped employee – yours as well. If you’re new to serving, you won’t be expected to have mastered this yet, but for those with years of experience, this skill can prove invaluable to a potential employer.

For those without years of experience, a waiter job can be one of the easiest entry-level positions to snag – if you go after your goal with professionalism and determination.

One of the biggest secrets to writing an effective cover letter for any food service position is to answer this simple question: Why do I want to work in this particular restaurant? 

While other industries use teams of recruiters and automated systems to filter through hundreds of applications, hiring in restaurants often involves the owner or manager taking the time to read each individual application. On the other end of your cover letter is a real, live person who is genuinely interested to know why you want to work for them.

The best way to answer this question is to be authentic. Go to the restaurant, try the food and notice the aesthetic, the clientele, the menu. Reflect on how and why you’d fit into the picture. Even if you have no experience as a waiter or waitress, your personality traits and transferable skills are valuable.

While you might have to apply to a few restaurants before you land your dream job, just remember this:

According to the National Restaurant Association : 90 percent of restaurant managers started in entry-level positions, as did 80 percent of restaurant owners. One third of all Americans had their first job in a restaurant. 

Waitress cover letter format and common mistakes

• Unrelated experiences: Waitressing often makes for great part-time or entry-level work, but you’ll still need a high-quality resume and cover letter to land these positions. Make sure to focus only on experiences that clearly demonstrate transferable skills. These can be paid or volunteer, but they should be relevant to the job you're seeking.
• Unprofessional formatting: Professional formatting immediately sets your application apart and makes a great first impression. On the other hand, sloppy or crowded page design will turn off employers at a glance. Luckily, online tools from Resume.io can make great layouts a breeze.
• Grammar and spelling mistakes: Typos and poor grammar can discourage a restaurant manager from continuing to read your document. These mistakes are easy to avoid, however. Make sure to use spell-check, and ask a friend to proofread your application before you submit.
• Generic cover letters: There’s a million restaurants in the world, so why are you interested in working in this one ? That’s the question your cover letter needs to answer with specific experiences and skills tailored for each restaurant that you apply to. The extra time spent crafting a thoughtful cover letter will pay dividends when it catches the restaurant manager’s attention.
• Unless a job posting or hiring manager specifically asks you NOT to include a cover letter, you should include one to increase your chances of catching a hiring manager’s attention.
• As an entry-level candidate with no work experience, it’s important to keep your cover letter to a maximum of one page by focusing on just a handful of relevant skills.
• The trusted cover letter structure will help you keep your document organized and make the writing process easier.
• Waitresses with no experience should tailor their application letters to address why they want to work at that particular restaurant.
• Good visuals are just as important as good writing. Simple, clean templates work great for waitressing positions.

What to Include in Your Resume and Cover Letter

Tips for writing effective resumes and cover letters, waiter resume example, waiter cover letter example, how to send an email application.

Are you applying for a job as a waiter or waitress? For some restaurant positions, you will apply by completing an online application, or you may be required to apply in person. For others, you may be required to submit a resume and cover letter for consideration, including your waiter or waitressing skills.

When you write a cover letter for a waitstaff job, it's important to highlight the skills you have that match the job requirements listed in the job posting. Your resume should include your most relevant work experience, typically in reverse chronological order.

Here's information on what to include in your resume, tips for writing resumes and cover letters that will get your application noticed, examples, and templates to download.

Highlight your customer service skills .  Restaurant managers are eager to hire front-of-house staff who understand the importance of providing exemplary customer service to guests.

Emphasize your dedication to creating positive guest experiences, your proactiveness in identifying diners’ needs, and your tact in responding to difficult customers.

Remember the importance of soft skills. Not only must waitstaff have exemplary customer service skills, but they must also demonstrate soft skills such as dependability, timeliness, flexibility in being available for different shifts, and a solid work ethic.

Match your skills to the job. Review this  list of skills required for waitstaff jobs  before you get started, then take the time to match your qualifications to the job. This way, your application materials will show the employer that you're a qualified candidate for the position.

Include all relevant experience.  Provide descriptions of your previous restaurant jobs, accompanied by bulleted statements about your achievements and significant contributions in each role. Also mention any restaurant point-of-sale (POS) systems or other computer technologies you are familiar with.

Detail your education and certifications. In the “Education” section of your resume, list any college degrees you hold or are currently pursuing. You should also mention any SafeServ, MAST, or other industry-specific certifications you have earned.

Tailor each resume to the job.  Both your resume and your cover letter should be revised to speak to the specific requirements of different employers. Read the job posting carefully, and then make sure your resume emphasizes the qualifications most valued by the employer.

A good way to do this is to include keywords in your resume from the job listing. Highlight the important words in the job listing (including qualifications, skills, etc.) and include them in your resume to demonstrate that you are a desirable candidate for the position.

Include examples.  Review these resume and cover letter templates to learn what information you should include, how to present your most relevant experiences, and how to make your application stand out from the competition. You can then use them as a basis for your own documents, personalizing them to reflect your own training and experience.

Consider the format.  There is no single “perfect” format for a resume. Although most employers expect to receive resumes where one’s experience is presented in reverse-chronological order, you may find that a  different format  would work better for you, depending on the position you are applying for, your work history, or your level of experience.

Proofread and Edit.  Your resume and cover letter need to be letter-perfect. Take the time to thoroughly edit your resume, correcting any spelling or grammar errors (or have a competent friend do this for you if you feel unsure about your grammatical skills). The formatting also needs to be consistent, with the same style of bullet points used throughout and the same size font for all of your section headings.

John Lee Shift Manager Michael’s Restaurant 123 Business Rd. Business City, NY 54321

Dear Mr. Lee,

Please accept my enthusiastic application for the waiter position you recently advertised on Monster.com. You state that Michael’s Restaurant requires a waiter with experience in the food industry, strong customer service skills, and the ability to work under pressure. I believe I fulfill all of these requirements and am an excellent candidate for the position.

I have an extensive background in the food industry. I worked for two years at a fast-food restaurant. During this time, I gained experience in nearly every aspect of food service. I took orders and served customers their meals, handled the cash register, and performed daily inventory checks. As a waiter for Michael’s Restaurant, I could assist not only in taking orders and serving customers but also in a variety of other capacities in which you might need assistance.

At Riley’s Fast Food Joint, I also interacted with dozens of customers each day; I always made sure to provide clear and thorough answers to questions about our meal options and the cost of items. I know I could bring this friendly, helpful customer service to a position as a waiter at Michael’s Restaurant.

My experience in the food industry and in customer service, and my ability to thrive under pressure make me an excellent candidate for your waiter position.

I have enclosed my resume and will call within the next week to see if we might arrange a time to speak together. Thank you so much for your time and consideration.

Your cover letter shouldn’t come as an afterthought to your CV. If you ace them both, you’ll have tripled your chances of landing an interview.

So, I’ve created this waiter/waitress cover letter example and step-by-step writing guide, to help you win recruiters over and land an interview.

Breakdown of a good cover letter

The diagram below shows the 7 key steps you need to focus on in order to write an attention-grabbing cover letter. If you follow these steps, recruiters will be eager to open your CV and find out more about you.

Write the cover letter in the body of your email/message

The aim of your cover letter is to introduce yourself and encourage recruiters to read your CV.

Therefore, it’s always best to write your cover letter directly in the body of the email you send, with your CV attached.

This way, you know for sure that your cover letter will actually be seen.

If you add it as an attachment, it’s highly unlikely to be opened, meaning you’d have missed out on a golden opportunity to connect with employers.

Quick tip:  Try to find the name and email address of the recruiter or hiring manager of the company, so you can bypass the competition and land in their inbox directly. Hospitality roles often get hundreds of applications through job sites, so this will significantly increase your chances of getting noticed.

Write a compelling subject line

Another benefit of sending your cover letter in the body of an email is that you can craft an attention-grabbing subject line.

Applicants who apply via a job board won’t be able to personalise theirs, so it’s an amazing opportunity to make your application stand out from the crowd.

A simple yet effective approach to this is to create a short professional summary of yourself which is tailored to the role you’re applying for.

For example, if you’re applying to be a waitress in a busy restaurant environment and have worked in similar environments before, you’d make it known in your subject line, like this:

• Experienced waitress with 6 years of experience in fast-paced city restaurants
• Skilled waiter with 1 year of experience of serving customers in a busy pub

If you have less relevant experience, you could write something which matches the skills listed in the job advertisement. For example, if the employer is looking for someone with great customer service skills, you might write:

• Bright student with excellent customer service skills

Address the recruiter/employer by name

Writing too formally can come across as unfriendly and impersonal. These days, it’s much better to address the recruiter/employer by their name, with a more relaxed and friendly tone.

So, how do you find the appropriate name?

Often, you’ll see the recruiter’s name and contact details at the top or bottom of the job advertisement. If you can’t spot it, try out the following tricks:

• Head over to the cafe, restaurant or bar website and see if there’s a ‘meet the team’ page or similar. If you find someone with a HR, recruiter or hiring manager title, use their name in your email. Some smaller establishments might not have an internal recruitment team, so in this case, use the manager’s name.
• If there’s no staff page on the website, try out LinkedIn. Type the name of the establishment into the search bar, head to their page and scan through the list of employees. Restaurant/cafe/bar managers are more than likely to be on LinkedIn, so you should be able to find an appropriate name here.

Write in a friendly but professional tone

The language you use in your cover letter matters, and you need to strike the right balance in order to make a positive first impression.

Speaking in an overly formal tone may sound detached and unfriendly, but speaking too casually could come across as rude and disrespectful.

So, you need to meet somewhere in the middle, aiming to sound friendly yet professional – an opening line like “I hope you’re well” is a great start.

Quick tip: A poorly written CV will fail to impress recruiters and employers. Use our quick-and-easy CV Builder to create a winning CV in minutes with professional templates and pre-written content for every industry.

Check out our CV examples.

Highlight your most relevant skills

As soon as the reader sets eyes on your cover letter, it needs to be clear that you’re well-matched to the role. This way, they’re far more likely to go ahead and read your CV.

You can do this by highlighting your most relevant skills . Go back to the job ad and note down the top skills the employer is looking for.

Next, go through the list and tick off the ones you feel you have. These are the skills that you should include in your cover letter.

Keep it brief

All too often, applicants end up writing an entire page or more for their cover letter – but this is a huge mistake.

Recruiters , hiring managers and restaurant managers simply don’t have the time to read through numerous pages text, so a long cover letter probably won’t even be read.

So, by keeping yours short and concise in the body of your email, you can ensure your cover letter is read and leaves a positive impression on busy recruiters.

Aim for 4-8 sentences which simply summarise your relevant skills and encourage the reader to open your CV.

Sign off professionally

Lastly, sign off with a sleek, professional signature, as shown below.

You should include your full name, contact number (mobile is usually best) and your email address. Format it for impact by using a bold or italic font.

Not only does this show great business etiquette, but it also makes it easy for recruiters to pick up the phone and give you a call.

What to include in your waiter/waitress cover letter

Your cover letter content will inevitably reflect your individual experience and skills, but generally, a waiter/waitress cover letter should mention the following:

Who you’ve worked for –  Roles in the hospitality industry can vary massively, so it’s essential to distinguish your type of experience – for example, you might have worked in exclusive high-end restaurants, cafes, country pubs or hotel restaurants.

Product/service knowledge – Are you a cocktail wizard, have the brains for allergens and ingredients, or really know your stuff when it comes to Italian food? If you have any type of industry skill or knowledge which is relevant to the role you’re applying for, it’s a huge selling point – so make it clear in your cover letter.

Level of experience – Have you been working as a waiter or waitress for several years, or will this be your first role? State how many years of experience you hold early on in your cover letter.

Waiter/waitress skills – Make sure to match your skills with the job description and show off those which you possess, whether that’s customer service, food or drink prep or health and safety.

How you can benefit a new employer – Do you have a track record of decreasing guest waiting time, leading teams or positively handling customer complaints? Entice the reader to open your CV by communicating exactly how you benefit help the team.

Your waiter/waitress cover letter for your CV

Whilst writing your waiter/waitress cover letter, remember that the key is to make an impact and entice the reader to open your CV.

So, it needs to be short, snappy and punchy, putting forward a high-level view of why you’d make the perfect hire.

Before hitting that send button, double-check it for spelling and grammar mistakes and typos, as it needs to be 100% flawless.

Paired with an impactful waiter/waitress CV , you’re bound to win an interview in no time!

Good luck with your job search!

Dear Hiring Manager

I am writing to apply for the position of Waitress at your restaurant. With my enthusiasm, strong work ethic, and experience in the hospitality industry, I am confident that I would be an excellent addition to your team.

I have been in the hospitality industry for the past five years. I started as a server assistant at a local restaurant and quickly progressed to a full-time server.

What's The Best Structure For Waitress Cover Letters?

After creating an impressive Waitress resume , the next step is crafting a compelling cover letter to accompany your job applications. It's essential to remember that your cover letter should maintain a formal tone and follow a recommended structure. But what exactly does this structure entail, and what key elements should be included in a Waitress cover letter? Let's explore the guidelines and components that will make your cover letter stand out.

Key Components For Waitress Cover Letters:

• Your contact information, including the date of writing
• The recipient's details, such as the company's name and the name of the addressee
• A professional greeting or salutation, like "Dear Mr. Levi,"
• An attention-grabbing opening statement to captivate the reader's interest
• A concise paragraph explaining why you are an excellent fit for the role
• Another paragraph highlighting why the position aligns with your career goals and aspirations
• A closing statement that reinforces your enthusiasm and suitability for the role
• A complimentary closing, such as "Regards" or "Sincerely," followed by your name
• An optional postscript (P.S.) to add a brief, impactful note or mention any additional relevant information.

Cover Letter Header

A header in a cover letter should typically include the following information:

• Your Full Name: Begin with your first and last name, written in a clear and legible format.
• Contact Information: Include your phone number, email address, and optionally, your mailing address. Providing multiple methods of contact ensures that the hiring manager can reach you easily.
• Date: Add the date on which you are writing the cover letter. This helps establish the timeline of your application.

It's important to place the header at the top of the cover letter, aligning it to the left or center of the page. This ensures that the reader can quickly identify your contact details and know when the cover letter was written.

Cover Letter Greeting / Salutation

A greeting in a cover letter should contain the following elements:

• Personalized Salutation: Address the hiring manager or the specific recipient of the cover letter by their name. If the name is not mentioned in the job posting or you are unsure about the recipient's name, it's acceptable to use a general salutation such as "Dear Hiring Manager" or "Dear [Company Name] Recruiting Team."
• Professional Tone: Maintain a formal and respectful tone throughout the greeting. Avoid using overly casual language or informal expressions.
• Correct Spelling and Title: Double-check the spelling of the recipient's name and ensure that you use the appropriate title (e.g., Mr., Ms., Dr., or Professor) if applicable. This shows attention to detail and professionalism.

For example, a suitable greeting could be "Dear Ms. Johnson," or "Dear Hiring Manager," depending on the information available. It's important to tailor the greeting to the specific recipient to create a personalized and professional tone for your cover letter.

An introduction for a cover letter should capture the reader's attention and provide a brief overview of your background and interest in the position. Here's how an effective introduction should look:

• Opening Statement: Start with a strong opening sentence that immediately grabs the reader's attention. Consider mentioning your enthusiasm for the job opportunity or any specific aspect of the company or organization that sparked your interest.
• Brief Introduction: Provide a concise introduction of yourself and mention the specific position you are applying for. Include any relevant background information, such as your current role, educational background, or notable achievements that are directly related to the position.
• Connection to the Company: Demonstrate your knowledge of the company or organization and establish a connection between your skills and experiences with their mission, values, or industry. Showcasing your understanding and alignment with their goals helps to emphasize your fit for the role.
• Engaging Hook: Consider including a compelling sentence or two that highlights your unique selling points or key qualifications that make you stand out from other candidates. This can be a specific accomplishment, a relevant skill, or an experience that demonstrates your value as a potential employee.
• Transition to the Body: Conclude the introduction by smoothly transitioning to the main body of the cover letter, where you will provide more detailed information about your qualifications, experiences, and how they align with the requirements of the position.

By following these guidelines, your cover letter introduction will make a strong first impression and set the stage for the rest of your application.

Emphasize the value you can bring to the role and briefly mention your key qualifications or unique selling points.

• Call to Action: Conclude the cover letter with a clear call to action. Indicate your availability for an interview or express your interest in discussing the opportunity further. Encourage the reader to contact you to schedule a meeting or provide any additional information they may require.
• Complimentary Closing: Choose a professional and appropriate complimentary closing to end your cover letter, such as "Sincerely," "Best Regards," or "Thank you." Ensure the closing reflects the overall tone and formality of the letter.
• Signature: Below the complimentary closing, leave space for your handwritten signature. Sign your name in ink using a legible and professional style. If you are submitting a digital or typed cover letter, you can simply type your full name.

Examples of cover letters for a waiter job

When applying for a waiter position, your cover letter is an opportunity for you to tell your story, without being stuck in the formatting constraints of the resume. The best format for writing a cover letter is as follows:

It’s with great pleasure that I’m responding to your advertisement for a Waiter at The Flagship Restaurant. I’ve been working in the restaurant industry for the last 15 years, and I love serving guests and creating a one-of-a-kind experience for them every time they’re at one of my tables. Anticipating the needs of my guests is of paramount importance to me because I love helping restaurants grow their clientele, and I believe that creating a fun and friendly experience is one of the factors that I have the most control over as a Waiter. I do, however, also believe that guests want their order to be served correctly and in a timely fashion. That’s why I work to communicate effectively with cooks and help other Waiters by expediting and running their tables’ food.

In my previous position at Innovation Restaurant, I served guests by greeting them as soon as they were seated and by serving their drinks, most of the time, within two minutes of them having ordered. Innovation Restaurant has a quality-assurance program that uses secret guests who rate their experiences at the restaurant. For both of the two secret guests that I served, I was given perfect scores on timeliness of service and menu knowledge. I also helped management refine the training program so that new Waiters would better learn how to serve their guests.

I’m so excited at the opportunity to learn about the food at The Flagship Restaurant and to connect with the restaurant’s other Waiters and the guests. If hired, I’ll be happy to help others learn techniques that create quality experiences for guests, and I’ll continually be looking for ways to improve the service that I give.
