Does Chili's share tips? If so, how much goes to busers?

Question

Just out of curiosity. I know it's about 5-15% of a waiter's tips, but do busers bus for more than one waiter at a time?

Answer 1

Chili's servers tip 1% of their sales to the busser.  The busser works for all the servers.  So if a server has $800 in sales he tips $8 to the busser.  On a Friday Saturday night you have usually 13 servers including lounge.  At my store average sales at between $700 and $800.  Or about $9,000 in sales.  so  the busser get about $90
