How to add "waitress" to professional resume?

I worked for 11 years in finance and have an MBA...but because of the recession, I have been a waitress for the past year. Should I add that experience to my professional resume (and how) to show potential employers that I have been working?
ANSWER: Well, I think it's always better to list even an unrelated job than to show an employment gap. It does show a certain strength and motivation to keep working. You would list it just like you list any other job. In your cover letter, you can explain why you took such an unrelated job. Good luck!
