server
Brings your food
A server is a person or thing that serves.
In restaurants, a server brings food and drinks to tables—a gender-neutral alternative to waiter or waitress.
In computing, a server is a computer or program that provides data or services to other computers on a network: The website crashed because the server went down.
In tennis and volleyball, the server is the player putting the ball in play.
