Question

What is the hourly rate (pay) for a host/hostess at a restaurant like TGIF?

Answer 1

I worked at Applebee;s as a hostess and they paid 5.15 plus tip's that the bartender and servers had to pay out

Answer 2

Generally it's minimum wage.  If you have A LOT of experience they might give you a tiny bit more.

Answer 3

it's a little less than minimum wage because of the tips, so it depends on what state you're in

Answer 4

Usually between $6-7/hour plus tipout from the servers; if it is a restaurant that does not give tipout to the host/hostess, than they might pay $9-10/hour.

**Edit - This was true to the best of my knowledge, but than the last time I worked in a restaurant was a couple of years ago!!  Plus pay rates probably vary by area/state.

Answer 5

I think they are all different.  The one I worked they were paid $8 or $9 an hour plus 1% tipout from the servers overall sales.

Answer 6

I think it less then minimum wage because of the tips.
