How much much does a waiter earn?

Answer 1

The wages a server earns depends on the type of restaurant or hotel they work at, how well they do their jobs, how busy the establishment is, their attitude toward their job and customers, and other factors; even the station they work on a given night can make a huge difference in what they earn on a given day/night.

Waiters in the US and UK get paid a minimum wage, plus tips or service charge, but tipped employees do not get the same minimum wage as non-tipped employees. In the 1990s, the minimum wage was $2.13/hr plus tips. In some restaurants, but not the majority, servers also have to tip out

to co-workers, like floor managers, busboys, hostesses, and bartenders. In the UK often a 12.5% service charge is added to the bill, but most restaurants gauge that by 20%, and another 20% is taken out in taxes and then 'pooled' amongst all the workers - in some cases the kitchen staff also - so the difference a waiter earns between the two countries is substantial. In the U.S. a server may or may not make the equivalent of minimum wage, and taxes are taken out as if they did. Servers are expected to report all tips earned.

In Japan, most junior waiters earn the equivalent of $10 - $12 USD, but Japan is not a tipping society and the cost of living is very high in comparison (rent for a very small apartment may be $1,000 a month and $8 for a draft beer, for example.)

In Australia, the wage is very decent but the tips are relatively low - perhaps just 'round up' to the next higher dollar amount. eg: the bill is 22.30, leaving the .70 would be an acceptable tip. When someone starts out, even in a 5 star hotel they get the same wage as in a 3 star hotel. At least that is how it is in Australia.

Some people think you get paid more depending on the years you have worked and the specific salaries of the establishment. While it is true that experience and the right attitude can influence the tips you make, your base pay that the establishment pays does not raise much no matter how long you work there.

Answer 2

The average amount of money paid to a waiter in tips is about 15% of the bill. But, it does depend on the waiter or waitress's service. For example, if they were friendly, talkative, and very nice and accomodating, you would probably pay them 20% or more. If the waiter was horrible and nasty and made mean comments about you and your family, you might not give them anything at all, or just give them a 5% tip.
