General rule is 10% of your bar income to the bar and 10% of your food income to the kitchen!. However, if your bartender takes care of you, you should take care of him/her!. The faster they make your drinks the more money you make!. If you get the reputation of being a light tipper!.!.!. well the bar can move very slowly sometimes!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
if you are kind and put on a big smile you wil make more tips then if you are rude, mabe up to 100 dollars!. the general rule for is outs is 10% to your bartender!. ( Mabe allittle more if you want your drinks faster) Good luck!! oh btw you dont need to tip out the dishwashers or cooks, unless you wanna!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
It all depends on the bar!. Ask the other cocktail waitresses there, if they don't tell you first, how much to tip the back help!. Good luck, I think cocktail waitressing is FUN! :) I would do it again but I have bad wrists, can't hold up the trays!. :(Www@FoodAQ@Com
No idea on how much income to expect, but you should tip out 10% to your backup!. That includes the bar-back, kitchen support, etc all together, not 10% each!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Are you hot!?!.!.are you friendly!?!.!.drop a couple bucks to the bartender!.!.drinks will come fast/fresh!.!.and right!Www@FoodAQ@Com
