How many hours does that take?

Why does it take so long and yet being a waiter requires no (government) training at all?

Right, a waiter could do all sorts of things to contaminate food but doesn't require licensing. Regulations and investigation are sufficient. The same could easily been done for barber shops. Enforcement can also be done via torts. Insurance also requires certain base level of employee training. There are many ways to try and prevent and remediate problems other than requiring a license.
