We're fine, thanks / We're all set, thanks

Hi teachers,

When you have ordered you food in a resturant, sometimes the waitor or waitress will politely check on you one more time and ask you if you need anything else from the menu. And if you feel you have had enough food. You don't need to order further more.

Would you say:

1. We're fine, thanks or We're all set, thanks

2. I think we have enough food, thanks.

Thank you.

Hi Mister Micawber,

Thanks for your help.

1. Does "We're all set" have to be used at the end of the meal, not in the middle of the meal, so the waitress or waitor will bring you the check?

2. How would native speakers call the waitress/waitor? no gender implied?

Thank you.

Hi Mister Micawber,

Thank you for your explanation.

I'm sorry I asked my second question wrong. In English, is it grammatical to say "People who works in service sector / industry" to refer to people who works as waitors / waitress?

Best wishes,
