Question

Does a waiter at chili's make good tips? How much per shift and how much is an average tipout?

Answer 1

I totally doubt rich folks go to Chili's. I know I wouldn't if I were rich. Chili's is just an average type place to get ribs. If I go there and the bill is 30.00 and I got good service, then the server gets 6 bucks. That's 20 percent. If I find the server ignoring me when I need a refill or just playing around, then she or he gets Zippo.

Answer 2

kinda depends on were you live and how you act...

in my city, waiters get really good tips at chili's...but I'm in a rich city, people drive Porsche's alot...haha

Answer 4

I am a general manager of a Chili's in VA.  Mon-Thursday Lunch $50-$70 a shift.   Mon-Thursday dinner about $60-$80 a shift.  Weekend lunch should always be more than $75 at lunch and if you don't break $100 on a pm shift then you are doing something wrong.  I have servers who work 3 days a weeks and all doubles and make $500 and I have server who work 3 shifts a week and make $200.  It's up to you.  At any corporate restaurant you follow their systems you will make money.  Don't count on pay checks though $2.13 an hour doesnt add up to much.  

Also All sorts of people eat at Chili's It depends what restaurants are in your area.  If Vicki O is rich and wants to eat Fois Gras ever day good for her.  But sometimes people want Burgers or ribs.  90% of the time a tip is based on YOUR service and the quality of the food. not the income level of the guest.  Best tippers = people who do or have worked in restaurants.
