I worked at Islands before as my very first job and I had a blast. It really depends on whether you think it would be fun meeting new strangers and being nice to them while serving them, and how the mood is around the employees. At the islands I worked at, and all the other Islands I've seen, the work atmosphere is pretty great. 

You will have a lot of downtime since the employment tends to be less hours than a standard job. You will, however, be scheduled to come in frequently during times you may not enjoy as much (well, it depends on how flexible your schedule is). If you don't mind having an alternating schedule that you have limited control of, it shouldn't be too bad.

Kids can be a disaster, but at islands you mainly have busboys run around and clean everything for you! It works very unlike other restaurants I've seen. Waiters do VERY little cleaning up. The main cleaning you'll be doing is a thorough cleaning of your section once your section is closed for the day.

It may vary a bit at your location (and it's been about 7 years since I worked there), but I'm sure not much has changed. I regularly eat there and see all the same practices I used to see.

EDIT: Islands is a great place to start, but you will not get tipped much. Heavy tips rely around expensive food (i.e. fish and italian restaurants) and alcohol (i.e. italian restaurants). Yeah, everyone wants to work at high end italian restaurants.

Depending on the place You work everyones tips can be put into a big tip jar every night and at the end of the month everyone of the waiters get a part of it.. The trick is not to put all your tips in the jar at the end of a night.. And more importantly.. Not letting the others know you are doing that.. 

I seee. Thanks for the tip Nikka

You will usually have to tip out busboys also, and possibly cooks. Depemds on the place though

How much is that usually?

It will really vary on where you work. Each place will have different rules on how much you have totip others out. here is an article about it.

Edit: Both of my older brothers where waiters. One at a mexican place for over ten years, and one at an italian place and mexican place for over ten years too. They both liked it and made good money, but it kills your social and holiday life. All the best tips are during those times so you will want to work. You will most likely switch to hanging out with people with night jobs unless you find a day shift to work. I wouldn't recomend it for long term. It wore them ddown after the years, but one finished school and started his career, and the other landed a job as a steel salesman and enjoys his new job much better. You will also have to deal with some shitty customers and coworkers at some point. If you can't handle being yelled at (for stuff you may or may not have done) it may not be the job for you. It will most likely be fast paced work too. But besides the bad customers there will be lots of great ones that you will get to know if you do your job well, and probably a lot of great coworkers too.

Where'd you live?

And I've worked as a waiter at Pizza Hut Restaurants in UK, worked as a waiter for the first 8 months, then did my kitchen training, and then finished with the management training, becoming a shift manager at 11 months in. Immediately regretted my decision of becoming a manager and wish I've remained a waiter.

1. How hard is it to be a server?(learning curve)

I would say its relatively straight forward if you put your mind to it. It's all about good interactions and ability to remember things, like those days when someone asks for ketchup, and I forget until I get home and go to bed, gg ketchup.

2. Dat monies? ( how much bank)
Pay is shit as I understand it in terms of company pay, barely above minimum wage or in some cases even lower, as I was under 21 at the time, I was paid 4.98 an hour (yeah, really) then after finishing management training it was 6.44, maximum available for non management staff in the company(Usually get that much after 21+). The tips were bread and butter, you have to work dem families, interaction with kids and whatnot, good service and not ignoring anyone, delegating same amount of attention for all, because you may be surprised who will tip you. Had an Asian dude(Not to be racist, but they RARELY tip) give me over an hours worth of tip just because I talked to him bout the ol' days.

At Phut, you keep all the tips from your tables, being that guy, I've shared my tips with the kitchen staff because they do most the work anyway, and knowing what they have to do, might as well help em out.

3. Flexibility (work/life balance)

I would say it's the best thing, depending on the company, but mine was a different schedule every week, so I was working differen days every week, but my manager knew the precise days I was at university or wasn't able to get to work. I think it's the most flexible jobs in terms of not having a set schedule of 9-5. So you work when you can and trade shifts with peeps when you need cover.

4. Atmosphere(fun, boring, co workers, manager)

Managers are anal, but the atmosphere I would say its relatively fun and relaxed unless it's terribly busy. But even then it falls on you to create the atmosphere through joking, interacting etc.

5. Good place for beginners?

This was my first job. I consider myself to be anti-peoples person. Go figure.

6. For everybody else - Would be a server/waiter?

Maybe yes. But I need to work by my qualification rather than that, it's a fun part time job, but full time its a nightmare.

Oh and in terms of tips, some companies allow sharing but the one I've worked for allowed us to keep 100%, on one night I've made £60 in 2 hours, that's like 2 xbox games(almost) yo ;_; ( and to make that much through legit work, I would have to work for 12 hours).

pro tip: don't go shagging around all your female co-workers... it's very tempting cause of the late nights and "lets have one drink after work".. but it will only lead to trouble.. doing a shift with 2 exes is murder..

I would actually say the opposite. You wont have this job forever, use it as a  good chance to get some action. Late night drinks with coworkers often leads to fun. But to tread lighty, working with exes is not fun. So just sleep with them, dont get serious with them.
