hibachi servers have it pretty bad...
by: Anonymous

i am a server at a hibachi restaurant, and let me tell you, my tip out is probably one of the worst. of all my tips, i give my bartender 5% or bar sales, sushi chefs 5% of sushi, and "traditional" chefs 5% of fried appetizers and deserts. then, i give 2% to kitchen help, 8-10% to the assistant server, and half of what's leftover to my chef...not to mention the pressure of selling everything from top shelf drinks, chef special sushi, and dinner upgrades. at the end of the night, we have to turn in all of our tips and it is then brought to our paycheck...the result? TAXED tips...which means it's even less money. on a good night where i COULD have made $200 after "regular" tip outs...i end up with about $80....maybe $90. and that's if everyone tips me the "proper" amount of 15-25% of the bill. but no, a lot of our customers are cheap-o's, or teenagers that don't leave any tip. to this day, i don't understand why teens are not educated on how they should simply go to a non-service restaurant, or to restrain themselves and leave enough money for tip if they so desire to go to a service restaurant.

The Pub I work at doesn't have food runners nor do we get help with a hostess or server helper. At the end of the night, we are to tip out the bartender 10% of our bar sales. Tonight... it was $23 out of the $91 I made! I think it is insane that we tip them out so much. They do nothing but pour drinks into a glass and set them on the bar for the servers to pick up and run to their tables, sometimes numerous times. Especially on nights like tonight where we have a special Trivia night and most people sit there for those 3 hours and just drink. How can that be right? We aren't cocktail waitresses, we are servers.

according to "your" tip out policy - 12% of the "bill" goes to assistant waiter, 10% of the "bill" goes to food runner/busser? OK I am not a math genius but that is 22% of the bill! So what does the waiter get ???? assuming the customer has tipped well over 22% of the bill?

Welcome to the fallsview marriott
by: Anonymous

We in ontario, have NO laws about it.

I tip out 39%. not on cash bills (the 'tip' is included in all room service bills) I only pay tax on that. Tax included.

under normal conditions, I don't mind a tip out, that's because the restaraunt needs help (acceptable help) for the hostesses, etc.

even still, you'd be tough to find people willing to put up with THIS kind of thing.

39% tipout?

Honestly? Please, name me one other place in North America, besides the fallsview marriott that does this.

i do the EXACT same thing as a server does, review the food, the drinks, etc. I am a server of food. I call the room back after a few minutes (depending on the guests).

The economy is tight, understandable.

They also enforced this, before the economy got so tight.

Already looking for another job, but, I may be looking for a long time -- and paying managers, who otherwise would have to be paid by Ferrari owners. (not an exadurastion.)

They also own most of the area.
