Hi,
I have a relative who is a college student but also an experienced server. She is looking to move to a restaurant in the California area.
Any ideas which is the best restaurant for a server to make money and be treated well?
Thanks!
With absolutely NOTHING to base it on, I'd go with the two that seem the busiest year round, and those would be Cheeseburger in Paradise and Outback, which are practically next to each other.
Yup, Asahi and Monterey would be my next two to recommend however, I think their family operated, not sure.

I have heard that Outback waitresses do well. Also may want to try Applebee's. I know a few former waitresses from Ruby Tuesday's and they got treated like crap. :shrug:
Ya think?
P.S. If she is over 21, I'd suggest bartending. I raked in over $300 per week at a rinky dink country bar. And that was just for tending one night per week! Imagine what she could do at a big place like C.I.P.
o man, it was rediculous what bartenders there get.
look at this.
they get, the tips all the bartenders earn split between them (at least thats how i understood it, but they might have gotten all their own tips), then they get their pay from CIP which isn't much, but its more money lol, THEN they also get a percentage of the tipshare (which is calculated by the total tips earned in the restaurant and the total sales of the restaurant on a given night).
they'd walk out with a good amount of cash and then get a small paycheck to boot.
well, i used to work at Cheeseburger in Paradise. She should make some good money there and at least when i was there, the majority of the people were nice. Of course you have some of the people who are Debbie Downers, but you can actually have fun working there if you try
be forewarned though, there tended to be major relationship drama in there, drama in general, but even moreso with relationships. There are a good amount of good looking, young, horny people in there so what do you expect lol? I think this applies somewhat to all restaurants, but this was one of the worst i've seen lol.
but the managers were all nice
How about Lenny's on Rt 236, more of a local crowd and gets has good amount of customers for Sunday Brunch. (last I knew).
Dear Karma Giver,
I used to work there.

I never minded sharing tips when I was under competent management
HOWEVER, I remember when I bused tables at the Holiday Inn Solomon’s Island restaurant when I was a freshman in high school (back when it was still called "The Maryland Way"). We did tip sharing and I worked my @ss of for this one waiter who at the end of the day would only give me a dollar (he probably made a good $100 on busy mornings)! All the other little girlies were still happy because he was older, handsome, and he'd like to flirt to get his way, but I eventually got fed up and confronted him. He said he was short on cash and really couldn't afford to tip us out properly. Not my problem! When I told management, they didn't do anything other than make false promises that the issue would be resolved. Very frustrating...
