How do we call a person whose job is to make coffee, tea, etc. and to serve these drinks to employees and guests in factories, offices, and companies (usually large ones)? I know that this is probably not a common job nowadays and I'm not sure if there's such a word at all.
I've heard the term "tea lady," but most definitions state that she serves only tea, that it's an obsolete occupation and that the word was used only in the UK.
Furthermore, I know that a dinner lady (or a lunch lady) serves food in a school, but can we use the same terms for a person who serves food in the workplace (in a canteen in a factory)?
