Detailed explanation-1: -Following the revolution, the abolition of the guild system that controlled who could be a butcher, baker or cheesemaker and how they did their jobs made it easier to open restaurants. Also, since so many aristocrats fled or were executed, their former cooks and servants had to find new employment.

Detailed explanation-2: -According to an often-repeated account that was first published in 1853, the first restaurant was opened in 1765 by a Parisian named Boulanger. Boulanger’s establishment on rue des Poulies, near the Louvre, served mostly bouillons restaurants-that is, “restorative broths."

Detailed explanation-3: -On December 13, 1827, the first restaurant opened in New York and introduced the concept of “eating out.” It was during the middle of the nineteenth century when waitressing began.
