Smart, funny, and straight to the point, The Six-Figure Server is a primer on how to get out of the weeds, tap into a six-figure headspace, skyrocket your service skills, and make YOU the server everyone asks for by name. A $25K server treats their work like a gig; a $100K server treats it like a great job. After hustling for years at a packed turn-and-burn beachside restaurant in a popular tourist town, I took a good, hard look at my serving skills and faced the truth: I wasn’t great at my job. Worse, by always angling to be the first cut and skipping tables to extend my breaks, I had left thousands of dollars on the table every year. That realization led to a six-figure transformation to my serving career. And now I’m sharing the strategies, tools, and mindset you can use to embark on your own six-figure path—all while keeping your body, mind, and soul intact (and paying your taxes on time). Drawing from my decades in the business, I offer a fun, fresh, and occasionally unconventional collection of tricks, tips, and techniques for tapping into your six-figure potential and making way more money than you are now. I’ll show you how to: ● Work out exactly what you need to do to earn $100K this year. ● Work out exactly what you need to do to earn $100K this year. ● Make sure your guests walk away feeling impressed (and happy to leave a 30% tip). ● Become valuable as f*ck to your boss, your coworkers, and everyone else on the team. ● Get the shifts you want by taking the shifts you think you don’t want. ● Upsell your tables without feeling like you’re selling your soul. ● Take advantage of seasonal shifts, gamedays, and holidays—including giving up everyone’s favorite date night to earn an extra $900. If you’re ready to level up, become the MVP of your staff, and add a zero or two to your income, The Six-Figure Server will show you the way.

The book's reach is as broad as it is detailed, intended both for IT experts just now adopting the technology and for GIS experts just now getting into system design - and for the nontechnical executives who need to take advantage of advancements in technology while managing change."--Jacket.

We are rapidly heading towards a world in which the computing infrastructure will contain billions of devices, which will interact with other computing/communications devices that are carried or worn by users as they go through their daily routines. Such devices will provide data access to mobile users as they move within buildings, cities, or across the globe. This new infrastructure presents tremendous challenges for data management technology, including: huge scale; variable and intermittent connectivity; location and context-aware applications; bandwidth, power, and devi- size limitations; and multimedia data delivery across hybrid networks and systems. Traditional data management technologies such as query processing, transaction management, workflow, business process management, and metadata management must all be reevaluated in this emerging environment. Furthermore, nontraditional issues such as the semantics of mobile data, location-dependent querying, broadcast and multicast delivery, and caching/prefetching techniques must all be addressed. The ability to track people as they move about their daily tasks raises serious issues of security and privacy. This conference is the fourth in the Mobile Data Management series, focusing on the challenges and opportunities for the management of data in mobile, pervasive, and wearable computing. MDM 2000 and 2001 were in Hong Kong and MDM 2002 was in Singapore. Eighty-seven papers were submitted to the conference from 23 countries and were subject to a rigorous review procedure. Every paper had three or four independent reviews. Twenty-one full papers and 15 short papers from both academia and industry were selected for publication in this volume of proceedings.

This book constitutes the refereed post-proceedings of the 13th International Conference on AI, Simulation, and Planning in High Autonomy Systems, AIS 2004, held in Jeju Island, Korea in October 2004. The 74 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited keynote papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 170 submissions; after the conference, the papers went through another round of revision. The papers are organized in topical sections on modeling and simulation methodologies, intelligent control, computer and network security, HLA and simulator interoperation, manufacturing, agent-based modeling, DEVS modeling and simulation, parallel and distributed modeling and simulation, mobile computer networks, Web-based simulation and natural systems, modeling and simulation environments, AI and simulation, component-based modeling, watermarking and semantics, graphics, visualization and animation, and business modeling.
