How much could a busser expect to make a week in tips in a fine dining restaurant?

Question

restaurant fine dining food server busser tips money upscale

Answer 1

This will depend entirely on the prices of the restaurant.  In very expensive restaurants, a busser can do very well. They can also do very well or better in a less formal restaurant with higher turnover.

Bussers traditionally get 5% of the waiters tips--this often goes on the honor system, from which you can draw your own conclusions.

Answer 2

many things will efect your pay in this proffesion so ill jusst make a list

1. how fancy is this resturant? $9-$17 meals or $20 and up?

2. who is dining at the time? (oviously you dont know this but it will effect your tip.)

                   a. what are the getting?

                   b. what % do the tip?

3. how does the resturant divided waiter and buss boy tips?

4. how many costomers came that week?

5. how many hours a day do you work?

seeing as this list is imposible to complete we'll have to make a few guesses

if each dable you waited had 2 diners and each bought a $18 meal and shared a $9 dessert(or apitiser) and always tiped 25%, and you got 25% of it, your averge table value would be $2.81

now if you always bussed 4(some hours u get one some you get 8!) tables an hour and worked 7 hours a day your day-ly wage would be $78.68

work 5 days a week and you got $393.40 in tips

of course this is probly way wrong because of so many variables but it is an estament
