Paid training as a server at Olive Garden?

Question

I am going to start training as a server there in about a month.. And I know I will be training for a week but I am just curious... does anyone know if I will get paid for it? I am going to call the manager on Monday and ask but I just wanted to see if anyone on here knew first..

Also, if you HAVE worked for Olive Garden, on average what did you make weekly?

Answer 1

dont know for sure...BUT

i had a cousin work there one summer

she said she averaged  $200  to 300

a weekend in TIPS.

Answer 2

I worked at da OG.

You will get paid for it and you'll also get to try a lot of yummy food and if you're over 21 some yummy wine.

The amount of tips depends on where you are, how good you are, time of season, when you work, and the economy.

Generally, you'll do great in tips if you pull doubles and work the weekends and Sunday lunch. You'll average well over 100 every week.
