I've heard you need to be 18 because they serve alcohol at Olive Garden, but I don't see why I can't serve the food, and if someone orders alcohol they can just have someone else bring it out. Whenever I go out to restaurants its not that unusual to have one person as our "server" but every once in a while someone else will bring out a dish or drinks or refill our water.
 
You cant work as a server until your 18 but you can be a hostess. The only difference is the better pay but you don't get tips.
 
You have to be 18 and there is a reason for it. It is a very demanding job and takes a certain amount of maturity. You may want to try a private restaurant because they most likely wont age discriminate.
 
got to be 18. do you think another server wants to run over and cover you everytime someone orders a drink?? there is alot you need to learn about the real restaurant business first.
go to steak n shake.
