To collect the data, three questionnaires were used two were answered by the waiters, and the third, by the restaurant managers. In order to conduct the needs analysis of these professionals, we looked for support in Hutchinson s & Waters (1987) languages for specific purposes approach (1987). These authors argue that the needs analysis is extremely important, as it enables not only the implementation of a course but also its continuous evaluation. The linguistic analysis of the work is based on the Functional Grammar proposed by Halliday (1994, 2004) and his collaborators - among others, Eggins (1994) and Martin & White (2005). Functional Grammar is a language theory that focuses on the effective use of language, that is, the manner in which the user uses language in different contexts. Functional Grammar was employed to analyze the appraisal items that occur in the waiters answers to the questionnaires, based on the Appraisal System of Martin & White (2005) and on the analysis model proposed by Eggins & Slade (1997). The results of the needs analysis and of the Appraisal System analysis revealed that the most important items to be included in a professional qualification course, according to the waiters, are: assistance to restaurant clients, self-evaluation, and performance. The present work intends to have contributed to the suggestion of a course proposal for the professional development of waiters that takes into account the needs considered by the waiters who participated in this study as relevant for professionals who intend to work in the area / Este estudo, parte do Projeto Direct - Em direção à linguagem dos negócios (LAEL/PUC-SP), tem como objetivo a apresentação dos resultados obtidos com a análise de necessidades no contexto profissional de 40 garçons e dois gerentes de dois restaurantes sofisticados da cidade de São Paulo. Para consecução de tais objetivos, foram utilizados 3 questionários, sendo que dois foram aplicados aos garçons e o terceiro foi aplicado aos gerentes dos restaurantes. Para a realização do levantamento de necessidades desses profissionais, apoiamo-nos na abordagem instrumental de Hutchinson & Waters (1987), que afirmam que a análise de necessidades é de extrema importância, pois é ela que, além de possibilitar a implementação de um curso, também possibilita a sua avaliação contínua. A análise lingüística do trabalho está fundamentada na Gramática Sistêmico- Funcional proposta por Halliday (1994, 2004) e seus colaboradores, como Eggins (1994), Martin & White (2005), dentre outros e foi utilizada para a análise dos itens avaliativos que ocorrem nas respostas dos garçons aos questionários, tendo como base o Sistema de Avaliatividade (Appraisal System) de Martin & White (2005) e o modelo de análise proposto por Eggins & Slade (1997). Os resultados da análise de necessidades juntamente com o resultado da análise do Sistema de Avaliatividade possibilitaram-nos identificar que os itens considerados prioritários em um curso de aperfeiçoamento profissional pelos garçons são: o atendimento, a auto-avaliação e o desempenho. O presente trabalho pretende ter contribuído para a sugestão de uma proposta de curso para desenvolvimento profissional de garçons, que considere as necessidades apontadas pelos garçons participantes desta pesquisa como relevantes para os profissionais que pretendem atuar na área
