Mission
The Servies exist to celebrate front-of-house restaurant employees. We are committed to sharing the stories of these diverse, customer-facing staff who keep restaurants running, go above and beyond for customers, and bring their best attitudes to work, no matter what life throws at them.
How it works
Coworkers, customers, friends and family--anyone can nominate front-of-house staff to win a Servie. You can even nominate yourself! Then, our esteemed panel of judges select the finalists, and the public votes to determine the winners.
History
In 2020, we built a new team of experts and technology to tackle the future of the restaurant industry and called it Yelp for Restaurants. The Servies was born from our belief that we can help restaurants turn the tables on this ever-changing industry, because we’ve done it ourselves.
The Servies Trophy
Each winner will get their very own brand-new, custom-engraved Servies trophy.
$3,000 Tip
It’s the tip of a lifetime. Each Servies winner gets a $3,000 gift card.
Runners-up prizes
2nd place finishers in each category get a $1,000 gift card.
