The New York Congresswoman will don her waitress apron in support of the federal 'Raise the Wage Act.'

She also wants to abolish the below-minimum wage for the tipped workers in New York State.

The Daily News says AOC will take orders at a restaurant in the Bronx on Friday as part of an event organized by Restaurant Opportunities Centers.

"We're very grateful for our partnership with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who fully understands the struggles of these workers," ROC co-founder and president Saru Jayaraman said.

Ocasio-Cortez worked at Flats Fix, a restaurant and bar near Union Square, and frequently referenced that experience during her campaign to unseat 10-term Congressman Joe Crowley.

The exact location has yet to be announced.
