I can tell you this. One thing your waiter/waitress hates is seeing you pull out a tip chart. If you can figure out how much to tip, feel free to ask your waitress, she can help you out. Another thing your waiter hates is to see you left him a religious tract and no/bad tip. We are thinking about making a shirt that says “Hey Christians, if you want to recruit me, tip me”.

Hey servers, would you buy this shirt?

Are you as a customer confused on how much to tip your server (waiter/waitress)? Then you have come to the right place. We believe that you should start at 20% and move up. Some people would argue that you should start at 15%. In most case they are arguing over a few bucks. You may or may not know this, but your server only makes about 2 bucks per hour, therefore relies completely on your tips. Not only this, but they also have to pay the host for seating the tables, the busboy for cleaning the tables and the bartender for making drinks regardless of whether or not you tip. In addition to all of this most servers must work for up to an hour after all of their tables are gone and sometimes an hour before they get tables. Again in an attempt to answer the original question “How Much to tip”, the answer is to start at 20% and move up depending on how much you require. Why not give them of couple extra bucks. Being generous is never a bad idea.

Comment:: I have worked at many different restaurants in the Dallas area for about 6
years. I love waiting tables, but I am just tired of the way I get treated. Have you
ever thought about contacting major newspapers and having them write an article that
includes your 10 rules for customers? There has got to be a way to get the word out
FASTER.

We are down to do whatever it may take. This is why is is so important that you tell everyone you know about us. You just never know who that person might tell. This is so big of a task, we can not do it alone. This will take a lot of teamwork. Thanks so much for your passion. We love to hear it.
