Answer 1

It totally varies on how busy your restaurant is. I've worked places where I'd average $30-40 a night (yikes!), and other places where making less than $100 is a bad evening. It's definitely one thing to ask during your interview, so you can have an idea on your average tips. Keep in mind, at a chain place you'll probably always be making around $2-4/hr, so you really do live off tips. Anyway, best of luck and I hope you find a great place!! :)

Answer 2

as a waiter all ur salery is really just on tips and the rest is minimal

Answer 3

It would vary depending on your customers and how busy/dead it is. There would be some days that you could average (with your wage included) $10-12 an hour. There will be some days where you will average about $20 an hour. All together I will say on average it will probably be about $15 an hour after you tip out.
