The Server Game Book
Twelve ready-to-play games that turn every restaurant shift into a competition worth winning — for servers, managers, and owners alike.
The Server Game Book is a printed kit built for the restaurant industry. It collects twelve field-tested games — from memory-style matching challenges to team-based sales races — that help servers sell more featured items, support one another on the floor, and actually look forward to their shifts. Each game comes with setup cards, tokens, play money, match cards, and dry-erase markers, so a manager can open the box and start playing in minutes.
It is designed for restaurant managers, owners, and trainers who want to lift sales without resorting to dry tally boards or forced contests. The games channel servers' natural competitiveness into better selling, stronger teamwork, and a more engaged crew — and they work in family dining rooms, sports bars, franchise locations, and independent restaurants alike. Whether you run a single shift or oversee multiple locations, the book gives you a repeatable way to make every shift feel fresh.
The Server Game Book was created by Tricia Hakeos, a restaurant veteran with more than twenty years in the industry — including over a decade in management — who has hired and trained countless servers. This showcase site was designed and built by The Tip Jar Project, the creative studio behind the book's digital presence. Together they turn hard-won floor experience into a kit any restaurant can put to work on its very next shift.
