Boston servers!?

Question

How much to servers in Boston make at the average restaurant? Full time and part time?

Answer 1

below the minimum, work for tips, tips are added to the wages, if that total is not equal to the minimum, then they will make up the difference.

Answer 2

Most restaurants indipendent and chain give you a $2. and change starting wage. You then need to work very hard and get tips. Some bust restaurants will have you leaving with over $200 a night if they are steady.

A lot of hotels usually start their hourly pay a bit higher, usually around $6 and hour, but keep in mind their restaurants are not as busy.

Answer 3

2.50 an hour +tips. My GF works at hooters and makes around 300 a night!

Answer 4

They get paid something like $2.50 an hour and the rest is tip based.  The tips depend on the restaurant

Answer 5

It depends on where you work. If you work at Newbury St with an outdoor cafe component, you can make alot of money. I know when I worked at a very popular restaurant on Newbury St, servers would walk with anything from 80-200 bucks a night. You get paid $2.50/hr but the tips can be so good. Try to work at either a touristy place like the Cheesecake Factory, where they turn tables quick, or a really nice place like Mistral where tables stay longer but patrons rack up nice big bills. It all depends on how good of a server you are. And whatever you do, try to avoid places that have a big European following. Euros rarely tip well since they are used to the tip being included. It wasnt uncommon for Euros to leave a 10% tip after making you bust your butt all night long. Good Luck!

Answer 6

Minimum wage for servers is $2.85 an hour...
