Tuesday is National Waitstaff Day.

They are the people who take your orders and serve your food at restaurants and they have a day of their own.

TRENDING NOW:

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than 2.6 million people worked as waitstaff in the U.S. in 2016.

They're an important driving force in the restaurant industry. A poll by Restaurant.com showed that 95 percent of those surveyed said a waiter or waitress can make or break their dining out experience and 71 percent say they are more likely to order a dish recommended by their server.

So, celebrate the day by going out to eat, ask for some recommended dishes and leave a good tip to the person serving you.
