A waiter is a flat circular piece of silverware that is generally used to serve food and drinks. In general, a waiter has a raised edge to prevent food from falling off if it. Another feature of a waiter is, that it can be decorated with a design or a pattern. This is done to make it more aesthetically pleasing.
