Toddler takes waitressing job very seriously when writing down dad’s large order

This video of a toddler taking her dad’s order while they play “restaurant” is total cuteness overload. 

Playing pretend is a serious business when you’re a toddler. TikToker and parent Tifah Kelly (@tifahkelly) is well versed in this matter, as evidenced by this video featuring her daughter Haylee playing “restaurant,” and viewers cannot handle the cuteness.

“What you want?” the adorable toddler asks her father before taking his order at the beginning of the clip. “I want a cheeseburger with Swiss cheese,” Haylee’s father says. Haylee jots down her father’s order with a marker on a sheet of stickers while slowly repeating each food item.

As though she’s been waitressing for years, Haylee listens intently to avoid missing anything from her father’s order, which so far consists of vegan mayo, a vanilla shake with whipped cream and a cherry, and sweet potato fries. 

“You writing this down?” Haylee’s father asks, stopping mid-order, to which she responds with an eager “Yeah!” 

Leaning into his role as the customer, the toddler’s father replies, “Okay, good. I don’t like waiters [who] like to remember it, and I want you to write it down.” 

Haylee nods intently before her father finishes his order with “not too much salt, appetizer salad, and Buffalo wings” at the end of the video. 

Viewers couldn’t help but gush over the darling little restaurant owner

“The vegan mayo had her shook! I love how she repeated each item. She is so cute,” one user complimented. 

“The camera would have been shaking the whole time because of the way I would have been in tears,” mentioned one TikToker

“I know you gave her a good tip because she was very nice,” one viewer joked. 
Haylee may barely be a toddler, but she already knows how to keep her customers happy.
