Just on average. I know it varies on place to place.

TBBY I TOTALLY DISAGREE WITH YOU. You and your friend chose what profession you worked in, and tipping should not be expected no matter what. If you are a hair dresser and have two clients a day maybe you aren't that good at your job. However the only profession I believe needs to be tipped are waiters because this is well deserving most of the time and they don't make much. Everyone else can kiss my *** because I too work as a nail tech and don't feel like I should be tipped, but what I do feel is that if you loved the service I certainly will accept or enjoy your tip. To tell someone to stay home until they can afford services including tip was absolutely stupid. Times are hard and people are low on cash and sometimes want a little enjoyment. I don't hate your friend that has a little change, why should I be jealous because she or her family chose to make more money in life, and did just that. WAKE UP PEOPLE

The minimum wage for waiters is $2.13 per hour. Most restaurants do not overpay their waitstaff. Most decent waiters make (gross) about 18 % of their sales, as most people tip at least 15%, some tip 20-30% and some tip none (they should just eat at home!). The trick is that if a waiter works in a restaurant with a hostess, busboy, bartender and a foodrunner, they are usually required to tip a percentage of their sales to them before they walk with their money. Bottom line...they usually walk with about 10% of their shift sales.

It also varies on how good of a waiter it is. I know I tip on how good the service is. To answer your question an 8 hr shift could average you about 50 dollars extra.Most places that allow tips pay less, like at Pizza Hut you would get paid 3.55 an hr, but make up for it in tips. Good Luck in whatever you chose just remember to always smile and the customer is always right, and the big tips should happen.

It really depends on the restaurant. I've managed restaurants for the past 4 years and have been working in restaurants for about 12 years. The fine dining level is much different than a casual restaurant. On average my servers (fine dining) make about $150-$200 a night after they tip out the bar, wine server, and busboys. In casual dining on a busy night a server averages about $75-$125. Remember these servers are only making $2.13-$3.50 an hour, and in a lot of restaurants the server has to tip out about 3-5% of there sales (so if you leave 20% they only get about 15% of that). Busboys are a different story, that is real depends on the company, I pay my busboys $8.00 a hour and they get about 0.5% of the sales (around $30-$40 a night). I hope that helps.

I waited tables back in 1978-1979 when I was just a kid. But I made about $40 in tips for 4 hours of work back then. It's far more now, I'm sure.
As for busboys (and bartenders), they used to get 10% of the wait-staff's tips. I have no idea what they do now.

Depending on what day/shift I work,
it can be anywhere from $30-$220 in 4-7 hr shifts(for me).
But at the end of the week/month
it all balances out.
The severs always tip out the bussers at the end of a shift, about 10% of what they made.
Where I work, I know our guy usually makes at least $50 on the weekend nights.
It's very hard work, but if you are good
at it you can make good $$.

it depends on the level of dining as well as the level of service... someone who knows what he's doing will fare well, usually w a dinner crowd, or a breakfast crowd..... if there's alcohol, u can add a few extra dollars into the mix.... busboys USUALLY are tipped by the waitstaff they bus for, collectively they pony up a couple of dollars each, depending on what they made...... a lucrative place, big name high prices, doesnt always mean ur going 2 make alot, the most important thing to remember is SERVICE, that's how u make decent money........ whether it's a mom & pop shop or a 5 star restaurant

There are a lot of factors that you need to think about. Location of the restaurant, type of rest. (i.e. fast food, fine dining), and of course service. I'm the chef in a fine dining restaurant in the tri-state area. We had one server on the floor today, after tipping out the busboy and runner (combine of 36% for lunch and 38% for dinner), she'll walk home today with $225.00 in her pocket. BTW, that is for a 2 1/2 hour shift. (stripper money, without having to take her clothes off), also this is only a lunch shift, she hopes to make another $300.00 for dinner tonight.
