How much does a waiter get paid hourly?

Answer 1

Waitresses and waiters make less than minimum wage due to what the government call "tip wage", which i might add, you are expected to claim on your taxes.

Servers can make a great deal of money. True the check is minimal or non-existant. Sometimes the taxes servers pay on their tips is more then they make on their check. I once worked as a server in an upscale restaurant. I never left with less than $300 per night in tips. One night I left with over $1200. Thanks Tiger Woods!

The above is NOT the norm. I've been working at upscale restaurants in BIG cities (Chicago, Atlanta) for over 10 years. The above is correct that you make less than minimum wage hourly, but DO NOT expect to make between $300 - 1200 nightly in tips. More likely, you will make between $75 - 200 per night (at most restaurants, $200 is a real good night). I'm also forced to wonder, if you are asking this question, if you have ever worked at a restaurant before. If the answer is no, you'll most likely make even less. True, there are restaurants in Vegas, Chicago, NYC, and LA where you can pull in that much money, but trust me, they won't hire you if its you're first FOH job unless you are also a model. Good luck.

It just depends on the state in which you live here in Washington state waitresses make minimum plus tips which can level out to about 15.00 an hour of course depending on your experience.

Answer 2

It depneds on where you are. Most teens get paid $5 every hour at regular restaurants, whereas in big restaurants you can work a hour for maybe $10. My relative owned a restaurant and the waiters could pick 4 hour shifts, 8 hour shifts, or 10 hour shifts.
