    Def add grat for a party more than a six or eight top. People are crazy depending on events and weather. We just trying to make THEIR DAY EASIER. I always make sure to keep taps separate and organized. Fast cash seems easy but hard to save. It’s my first year serving and I definitely admire the hustle. Keep it up!!! Much love and respect:)

    As a lead server, i always try to tell my servers to transfer tables if you are cut. You should never be on my clock if another server is in for that section. Meaning I dont need two servers in one section. Your job is to take orders and do your thing, but its not your job to close all tables. Tranferring is key... if you need to head to another job as well. Especially on such small order as 124$ I have transferred over 500$ tables with 18% gratuity included since we add 18% on 200$+ checks. Or 6 people or more. .. i would never close a table in the middle of service, I would just introduce a new server to tables Im transferring... and get going.... I hate when servers feel like because they started a table, its their table. No it is NOT!

    I’m actually curious and wanna know why (I know nothing in the field of serving) why do they transfer tables, what does that mean if I’m saying it correctly and why wouldn’t the server that starts the table not finish it and why wouldn’t it be there table? What if a server kept getting bumped around and never collected any tips but did work? Does the person that closes out the table get the tips or how does that work? Thanks. 🙂 Also, sorry if I don’t make any sense.

    @sellyherbestdays3824 you do make sense. If you dont close the table, you dont tip out for that table. As a business, we pay you to take orders and treat guests professionally as if it was us. Servers represent the business. But its not for servers to stay another hour or twoo, just to close a tab, when I already have another server in for that section. I get it. We want to take home as much as we can. Buy you transfer today, Ill transfer another day. And evens out. I need to make a video on this.

    Serving is definitely a great shift. I got laid off of my last homeschool teaching job and I needed a break from education altogether. I had been wanting to serve for a while but I never had the time. So I jumped on the opportunity once I needed a new job. Definitely a good decision but don’t get too comfortable. You can’t build wealth on just server income & tips. Solidify a few more streams of income while you’re serving so you don’t have to work so hard. (Unpaid time off is no joke lol. You don’t work, you don’t eat).

    @alcoholicsanonymous-ku5mf6 ай бұрын

    I've never liked the idea of working for tips. I know some people are successful at it but I feel that the restaurant is just the middleman they could be that could be cut out. Basically if I want to make tips i could just look for old lady trying to cross the street or someone trying to Load furniture into a truck and they'll probably tip. Another problem is you have to take all that money to the bank and someone might try to rob you carry around that money in the parking lot.
