How many plates are servers allowed to carry at once?

Servers at Yard House are trained to carry up to four plates at once. This number is based on operational efficiency and the practical capability of a server to manage the weight and balance of the plates while navigating through the restaurant. Carrying four plates allows servers to deliver food effectively to guests without compromising service quality or risking spills, making it a standard practice in many restaurants to enhance both speed and safety during food service. This training ensures that the restaurant maintains a high level of customer satisfaction and operational flow during busy service hours.
