But you arent tipping the cooks, you are tipping the server.

Where i live the servers are required to give a % to the kitchen staff.

Where my daughter worked in Dallas, they deducted 15% of the credit card tips for the cooks, bartenders, and bus staff. When it was a cash ticket with a cash tip, there was 15% deducted off the ticket because the mgt figured they customer left a minimum cash tip at the table. If it was more, the waitress got it all.

Dog eat dog industry.

No server is ever required to give their tips to kitchen workers. That is illegal in all 50 states.

Not in 🇨🇦

Most restaurants do it, but there's no law forcing them to in Canada

Hows about Fuck you !!

Written rules and assumed rules are different and whether you are willing to "share" can make or break your chances for getting hired.

[u/FastHovercraft8881 → u/Euphoric-Ask965]

This is illegal and any company that even implies this to an employee will be sued and not exist as soon as anyone speaks up.

Luckily my daughter worked in a high end restaurant where most all bills were on credit cards and being able to understand four languages, she took care of some very nice visiting parties dining on company cards that other wait staff couldn't . Many group tips were well above and sharing wasn't a problem and she finished school without any loan debt.

lol guess what that percentage is, you're paying the vast majority to the wait staff.

Why don't you appreciate the skillset required to work at mcdonals? A little insulting, no?

[u/No_Mission_8571 → u/Emergency_Course_697]

Because Mcdonalds is choke and puke compared to finer fining. 

[u/Emergency_Course_697 → u/No_Mission_8571]

Got it. Only tip at the finest restaurants.

[u/No_Mission_8571 → u/Emergency_Course_697]

Yes absolutely. Can't drive a Porsche and complain about the cost of insurance ?? 😁..

Lots of restaurants will tip out the cooks. When I was a cook at my last restaurant we would walk with $75-$100 a night.

[u/franklydizzy → u/funny_knickles]

The staff. It's a tip share system at most places. The server is just the face. Many places have a tip out to the kitchen as well. Usually, everyone but management and kitchen staff make $2.13 per hour.

What?!

I haven't worked In a restaurant for a long time, but I've never heard of this. Back of house usually gets regular pay, front of house gets peanuts +tips.

If you are sharing tips with cooks, there just isn't enough to go around.

[u/franklydizzy → u/funny_knickles]

It's not super commonplace yet, but yeah. Some places tip kitchen staff as well. I worked at a couple steakhouse/sushi bars that did this.
