waited on
Brought their order
Waited on means to have served someone, typically in a restaurant or retail setting: I waited on six tables during the lunch rush.
It also means to have attended to someone's needs more generally: She waited on her elderly mother for years.
In some dialects, waited on substitutes for waited for: We waited on you for an hour.
