serveur

waiter, server

noun sehr-VUHR Less Common
Food & Drink Dishes

Also means

server (computing)

Usage Note

Serveur means both a waiter in a restaurant and a computer server, making it one of the few French words that bridges hospitality and tech. The feminine form is serveuse. When addressing a waiter directly in France, Monsieur or Madame is preferred over saying serveur aloud, as the latter can sound abrupt.

Examples

"Le serveur apporte l'addition à la table."

Natural Translation

The waiter brings the bill to the table.
