Basically I work in a karaoke bar with private rooms and tonight, after my coworkers asked to see our tip breakdown (also worth noting we never get to see how much we make per night in tips at the end of our shift-our tips are on our check) i found out im making 5% of the karaoke room servers tips.
Mind you the only way they can get drinks is from the bar, they only take the orders. We have bussers who run their drinks and clean the rooms. The bussers get a 10% cut from them, doubling what I make. We do not have a busy bar as karaoke is our main draw and most people
Order drinks from their servers and we make them at the bar. Between 400/500 cocktails a shift on average.
Now this isn’t all THE WORST, however, our managers handle karaoke most nights of the week and even a few rooms on busy weekends. So our SALARIED managers are making an 85% cut of tips. On weekend nights we have 3 bartenders, not with 5% each, rather, 5% split 3 ways. ~1.67% on our busiest nights. Meanwhile our managers are taking home a large majority of the money.
For every 2000$, again, SALARIED managers make, I take home roughly $33.33.
I hate it here.
