2.50 per hr plus tips.
If you have a good waiter...... tip them properly.

If a busy restaurant paid minimum wage and allowed the staff to keep their tips, would they go under?

 

[Behr]

Behr and Slice, honest question. How much should waiters be paid?

How can that question be answered?


How much should a Quarterback be paid?

How much can you afford to pay the QB? It's a business decision.

go snuggle up with the hubby, and leave the dip for tomorrow

 

[Orangeslice13]

Lets put it this way. Between labor cost and food cost it's not easy to make a profit in restaurant.

 

[Aavoxx]

I'd love to own a brewery.

Sorry, that one wasn't me.

 

[Aavoxx]

Other places would be forced to match pay, because let's face it, the only reason it would happen is if it was a law.

That don't work. He loves it as much as I do. We enable each other.

You could put it in my fridge Volly. I promise I won't eat any.

Labor cost is already at 30% most places. You up wait staff pay to minimum and the cost of food goes up to cover it.

 

[wildnkrazykat]

Either way

 

[vollygirl]

Either way

Uh, what? lol

 

[wildnkrazykat]

Uh, what? lol

I take this crap too personally and I know it. Sorry.

A restaurant only has an income from selling food and Liquor. They have to buy both. Right?

Expenses:

Paper. Straws, cocktail stirrers, trashcan liners, toilet paper, paper towels, bev naps, computer paper (receipts) etc.

Chemicals. Bleach, dish detergent, hand soap, grease remover (you do want to eat in a clean restaurant)....

Labor. Cooks, dishwashers, prep, servers, bartenders, hostess, managers, bussers........

Waste. Dumpsters, grease trap....

Supplies. Silverware, glassware (great souvenirs), candle fuel, ice scoops, kitchen mats.....

Linens. kitchen towels, aprons, FOH mats, lines (napkins for silver rolls)....

Advertising. Menus, to go menus, matches, billboards .....

Still have to buy the food and Beverages.

Oh shat, still have insurance, mortgage, property tax


Try to make the guest happy and comfortable so they can come back and ***** about an 18% tip that was auto added so they can say, "I would have left more, but since you added it, you won't get a penny more".

I might suck, but they suck more!

GTFO!

Don't want to seem as pissed off as I am.

 

[Aavoxx]

If I were to approach a restaurant owner and say: "I can make your establishment paperless, including menus, and drastically cut labor cost by automating the ordering and payment process" what would the reaction be?
