How much do waiters make a day on average?

Question

I'm gonna be a waiter for this new restaurant and the boss said I'll be making $2.50 an hour plus tips... I need to know about how much do waiters make a day on average in tips? I'm gonna be working about 4-5 hours a day for 5 days a week.

Thanks for any help you can give me :)

Answer 1

That's better than me, lol. I get 2.13 an hour, I work at Landry's Seafood House. The tip's are amazing though, our menu is really pricey, and we get %15 percent tip from the ticket, plus what the customer's tip us. So last week on one table with 6 people I got $35 in tips, that's not typical though, most restraunt's make about $6 per table, so really your making about $10 an hour at an average restraunt.

Answer 2

depends on the type of restaurant. when i served in a casual restaurant i made between $50- $150 a night, but in fine dining you can expect to make at least $150 a night.
