"The Expert Waitress: A Manual for the Pantry, Kitchen, and Dining-Room" by Anne Frances Springsteed is a practical guidebook that was written in the late 19th century. The book provides detailed instructions and etiquette for serving meals, maintaining a pantry and dining room, and mastering the art of waiting on tables. It primarily targets those seeking to enhance their skills as waitstaff and aims to elevate the standards of domestic service during a time when professional domestic help was common. At the start of the manual, the author emphasizes the importance of preparation and care to create a pleasant dining experience. Springsteed introduces the concept of an "expert waitress," outlining essential duties and the necessary items needed for serving breakfast, beginning with the arrangement of the dining table and requirements for each breakfast course. Following this, she delineates proper etiquette during service, stressing the need for attention to detail and the anticipation of guests' needs without requiring them to ask, which sets a tone of professionalism and courtesy throughout the manual.
