Waiter Wallet Deluxe (Black) Server Book Organizer with Clear Pocket Insert for Waiters and Waitresses | Includes Restaurant Guest Order Pad | Medium Size fits Apron Pockets | 4.75' x 6.75'

This is my third Waiter Wallet - not because they wore out but because I gave one away and the upsized later in my server career! The pockets, windows and other features are perfect for casual and fine dining! It’s well-made and designed to make the job easier!

Useful product.

UPDATE: the pocket holding the notepad has torn more, and the main bridge connecting the two pieces has started to visibly weaken. At this rate, the WWSR will last a maybe a few months, maybe a year with me being cautious. But I work 6 to 7 days a week and many double-shifts. (The Millennial American dream...). I'm going to see what I can do about extending its lifespan, or else it'll cost $20 (bi)annually to replace--totally worth it IMO.I work at a fancy-ish oyster bar with lots of required knowledge and at times a very high-intensity service environment. The WW Sr. has made me better tips already after only a few weeks. Image is everything, and this thing brings more to customers's perception than is apparent prima facie.Think about it. A server seems more professional and prepared when staring diligently into this tool. She's more organized and can better (up)sell the perfect dish to her hungry tables. A better tool can mean a better server. And better service rationally means better payout.- It has a KEY CARD SLOT! Never lose your key card. I use a retractable lanyard, but I know others who use single key rings, which fit in this slot.- The Wallet part is AWESOME. Store a pack of gum, a huge money bank, and anything you could need. Receipts are always flat and un-crinkled.- The THICK BRIDGE in the middle is great to allow for stuffing this thing,- The cardboard, or whatever is inside, is very sturdy. In presenters the flimsy cardboard frays once exposed under the plastic.- Be more EFFICIENT and ACCURATE with orders. I use the transparent part as a cheat-sheet for drink/alcohol ingredients, menu changes, etc. I've haven't gotten anything wrong that I used my WW cheat-sheet for, though customers may have. ;)- Like a real wallet, when full of cash it gets hard to fold. (Consider putting bills in the top half fold (foremost side opposite the notepad.)- There are 2 layers of pockets to hold the cardboard backing to flip-style notepads. Below/foremost is another pocket for tucking pages of that same flip-style notepad to stabilize it from falling out. I've used the rearmost/upper pocket to flip&tuck used pages back behind the notepad's cardboard. I sometimes move with such vitality that the pocket has started to tear a bit.I never used check presenters before to organize, because they only "got in the way". But this TOOL, I invite it's bulky figure in my life for as long as I'll serve customers. It's like an apron protector (instead of pocket protector) that turns littered pockets from grab-bags into shelves, which can be equally as messy TBH. The WW can get cluttered, too, like any apron, car, or purse/backpack.Disclaimer: I was neither paid nor invited to write this review, but I have been getting paid, so I've written this review to explain how/why I think the WW has helped me. :)I might add pictures later, but you really don't need them. If you aspire to be a better server then you need this or something similar.

I only recently realized what an asset this product is and always will be to my everyday life!!I ordered this product about six months and have used it every single day, recently I switched jobs to a restaurant that supplies basic server books to all the servers.I thought I would re-try the basic book just to go with conformity, that's when I realized just how much I depend on my waiter wallet and the reasons it is so essential and feel anyone trying to choose can benefit.To start with I am left-handed books are just made backwards to me so the flip top design is extraordinary. When re- trying a basic book I found that it was extremely awkward to hold my book open and write on the opposite side. Not to mention how EXPOSED I felt stading before a customer with a clear veiw to any cash, credit tips, a personal memo I had jotted down, I constantly felt like I was being judged. That is if I didn't open my book and everything fall out before I could speak.There are SO MANY options with my wallet I didn't think there was ever a way or reason to need or use them all, along with the flip top design it opens as advertised just like a wallet! Inside there is a divider that has 2 CC slots front and back (able to hold up to four) I use the divider to make four compartments, 1) cash 2)CC receipts 3) any discounts voids or otherwise modified checks and 4) my PERSONAL cash I had before my shift to make change or anything else. On the back of the wallet there is another slot for CC this is where my personal card for POS fuction is stored. With this function I don't have to dig in my pockets or book it run the risk of it just dropping out. At times I may be responsible for performing manager functions and have their card on my person, this is where the inside slots are handy being able to tuck the manager card safely away eliminates more stress than I can convey. No one can see it if I don't want them to so other servers don't ask for favors nor get upset I have that card and I'm 250% positive no one can access it leaving me with a mess. The clear pocket on the top plus I purchased an insert is so valuable I never realized how many times I referenced the information until I had to pick up a menu to check a side items and relay information I'm expected to know. With my inserts they are so easy and convenient to change or add to I make a note of specials to inform customers of or items I have difficulty remembering ANYTHING. You can write a date reminder and still appear efficient and knowledgeable.After half a shift with a basic book I left to get my wallet and will NOT make the mistake of leaving it again! The only frustrations I've had are that a) the material is not the best quality just basic vinyl u find on most but there is waiter wallet deluxe that I will be ordering soon that is more durable a d re-enforced, (there is no real damage to my current wallet just basic wear and tear I would have gotten the deluxe to start but I didn't know the difference. b) 4*6 note pads don't seem to be as readily available as made to seem and I feel WW pads are a bit costly but it's possible to find 4*6 pads a decent rates.Anyone debating to purchase this product i recommend to add a couple bucks for the deluxe, or undecided to purchase at all this product pays for itself within a couple months after not losing cash or getting decreased tips bcz u look like an unorganized slob and overall confidence!!!!!
