Cashiers serve as the primary point of contact for customers during the payment process, so they should maintain a positive and professional demeanor at all times. Taking Orders: Taking orders from customers who are dining in or placing takeout orders over the phone or in person. Cashiers should accurately record customers' selections, including any modifications or special requests, and confirm the total cost of the order.

This involves recording customers' names and party sizes, estimating wait times, and communicating with hosts or servers to coordinate seating arrangements.
