I see your point, and $30,000 a year is poverty meme money. Unfortunately you will never retire making that much, and some people can't live with their parents. Still, I don't think being a waiter or waitress is a career as it's low skill. In a perfect world all waiters and waitresses would be pimply high school teens. In reality it's different.

I know lots of people who work those jobs because the tips make the pay better than what they can get with their college degree. Still the pay is incredibly low.
All the skilled positions are being taken by invaders who can get their "qualifications" cheaper, faster and already have connections in the industry
It depends on where you live, and what restaurants you work at. I know two guys. Ones in his fifties now, and the other in his forties. Both are back here in New Orleans now, and both make amazing money working in the French quarter. The one who left for a while was in Miami, and he made very good money there too. They were both fucked hard during Covid though. Yeah, they were able to get the emergency welfare shit, and survive, but it wasn’t nearly what they made working. One of them now only works two days a week and is still able to cover most of his regular monthly expenditures. The only real negative about the job is you have to work weekends regularly to make the good money, and you deal with the public all day long including lots of troublesome uppity niggers. I could never do it for any amount of money.
“Folks, $15/hr at 40 hrs/week adds up to around $30k/year.”
Unfortunately after taxes, and having some type of health”care” coverage, you’ll be lucky if you have 20k to live on for the year. If you actually have to use the health insurance, your average deductible depending on plan will instantly knock you down to 17-15k to live on. Even if you live with your parents, if you have the bare minimum reliable vehicle with no car note with liability just to keep ZOG off your back, that’ll knock you down another $500-$1200 a year depending on age, and where you live. If you have even a modest car note, that means you have to have full coverage, so you can instantly double your insurance price on top of adding said car note. Then there’s fuel prices. Your phone bill on the cheapest end will be at least $250 a year. Then there’s possible food, utilities, and rent bills depending on how much your parents let you slide on.
All in all, I’d say if you make 30k a year, the average person that is still able to live with family would be extremely lucky if they have more than 7-10k TOPS left for any extra curricular activities(sanity), savings, and emergency funds. I’m likely being very generous, and forgetting things. Now, with all that said, we’re only talking about working 40HAW, and you can always try to fit something else in to supplement for more money, but that seems harder to do today than in the past from my understanding, and long term it can really take a toll on your heath especially if you can’t find ways to keep your schedule somewhat regular, and get regular sleep.

I started roofing at $16 with the understanding that they'd train me and pay me for what I could do. I was making $20 by the end of the first year.
I think it's the best policy for everyone. The company can be less picky about hires and the enployees who put in the work get bumped up rapidly.

I taught my kids to sweep floors. I told them, "You can get pretty much any entry-level job and get paid well just because you know how to sweep floors."
They thought I was crazy.
My son got his first apprenticeship as an electrician and he swept the floor. The boss's jaw dropped and gave him an immediate raise. He was working directly under the boss and fixing other people's work by the end of his 3rd month.

“ Of course I'm splitting tips among the hourly workers.” Fuck that. I’m paying for the waiter’s service, not your janitor. What a faggot.
Waitresses are the janitors
Yes because you’re a lying boomer faggot
Not a boomer and not a faggot.
The restrooms are cleaned by the wait staff, the same as any other burger joint in East Texas. No one hires janitors here.

That’s cool. So why did you say you split the tips, then? Sounds a lot like you’re full of shit
Split the tips between hourly staffers. The guy working the grill doesn't get tipped directly. So the wait staff splits the tips with him.
Having the wait staff split the tips with the other hourly workers incentivizes the wait staff not to have other hourly workers. They're much more willing to pick up the other tasks that go along with running a restaurant so that they can keep more of their tips.
Also, they should be tipping the cook staff. There needs to be cooperation between the front and the back. Restaurants die when the cooks and the waitresses don't get along.
We talked it through with the wait staff before opening, all the different models, and they all agreed that since we are running an East Texas hamburger shop, that's the tradition we'll follow. If we were running a fancy french restaurant, it would follow the other model.

I think tipping is gay and extremely jewish
Like even in Europe (((some))) restaurants factor in a "service fee" (regardless if the service was shit) to the bill
A tip is a statement, not a fee
You should pay if you enjoyed the service, if the service was shit you don't tip
In Muttlandia they not only add a service charge but also tax (on top of the service charge) and waiters still expect a gratuity?
The (((American))) system is beyond retarded

Eurotards don't get it.
They never will.
You're paying the waitresses to wait on you. If you just want the food, order takeout.

I don't need "waiting" i just want food on the plate
Hell i don't mind grabbing it myself and putting it on the table if that saves me *waiting* on the college aged faggot/foid from remembering they have a job to do
Most of time, if i want an additional something to order i get up to the counter and ask it myself
I ain't some wheelchair bound obesity golem that needs to be "serviced"
I get fine dining like high end restaurants but like weekend grub i just want to eat and continue on with my day
I really don't get it why mutts justify tipping, you are already paying for the food, and the service should be like a bare minimum already included with the price

Let me share a story with you
I was standing outside the vet waiting for him to finish neutering my bull calves. He had a few customers before me so it took a while to get to my cows. In the end, I was standing in 95 F heat for about 4 hours. There were fans to keep me and the animals cool but I was done for.
I went to a local burger / smokehouse joint that's been around since the 70s. I walked in, the waitress asked what I wanted to drink, and before I sat down I had the drink in my hand. I never had to say anything, that cup was full of drink the entire time. She knew I was dehydrated and she knew I needed water.
She took care of me when I needed someone to take care of me. I was more than happy to leave a generous tip. She wasn't a college student. She was probably someone's grandma.
That's the kind of wait staff I'm going to have at my restaurant. People who understand the work that men are doing outside in the heat in summer, or in the winter in the cold, and are going to make sure that they're taken care of if they decide to set down in my restaurant and order a burger and some fries.

I had similar experiences to the one you just described, i always tipped generously when i get such exemplary service
But more often than not i get shitty, lazy service from ungrateful college fags who are clearly pretending to work than actually working
Though this days i rarely eat out, since its an incredible waste of money and your "Tenderloin steak" is actually something else yet still costs the same
If i don't want to get ripped off i have to buy and make everything myself, by hand
Which always come better because i know my seasonings and olive oils

man, america is a ridiculously expensive place. 30k per year here in Romania is a genius engineer doctor tier salary, and you actually live like one - can afford a huge apartment, nice car, fancy food.
if i was american i'd really start asking why it costs more to live like shit there. it's not like you guys don't grow food or don't have enough land to build respectable houses...

The answer is really simple
It's because of jews. Not that Romania has escaped jewish clutches, but America is the second homeland of the worldly jew after Israel itself.
Furthermore, I consider that Israel must be destroyed

It wasn’t always this way fren. We have to pay the kike/nigger tax from various angles all day every day now, and it’s only getting worse.
Europe is a 3rd world country
You just don't realize it yet
In America, we live better than your royalty ever lived. Because we're not degenerate sociopaths and we actually care about each other.

first of all, i can tell you are a jew by the way you talk about money and the way you are immediately hostile to an European.
second of all, you are a ridiculous liar. considering the first point, i would have it no other way. isn't half your population currently celebrating the gruesome death of a public figure, you dumb tribal fuck? you live in hovels for $5000 a month, eat slop, and if you cut yourself on a dirty needle in one of those shitholes you call a "city" a jew puts you into debt for a year to treat it. the only reason you're not begging God to give you a way back to your ancestral land, if indeed you are a White American, is because you've found a way to swindle desperate Whites to help you sell tacos to the local mexican population there in New New Mexico.

Not a jew. I'm an Ephraimite, descended from Joseph, not Judah. And my family has never lived in Jerusalem or Palestine for all of recorded history.
> hostile to an European
Your own idiocy is hostile to Europe. You guys threw my ancestor in prison for literally no reason, kept him there for over a year when there was no one who accused him of a crime at all. When you finally let him go, we packed our bags and left for the middle of nowhere USA. On the other side of my family, you guys thought that maybe not sleeping with every Tom, Dick and Harry was too "puritan" for you, so you kicked us out of England and the continent and we ended up building our own civilization with rules like "Maybe we shouldn't sleep with each other". Now you Europeans look at us like were freaks of nature because we don't pee in public and we don't rape each other day and night.
> live in hovels for $5000 a month
I don't. I own my home, and I only pay a modest property tax every year.
> eat slop
No I don't
> city
I don't go near those jew-infested shitholes. You Europeans might feel at home there, though. I don't.
> sell tacos to mexicans
Ridiculous.
You eurotrash have no conception of what it means to be an American in America. You think the news and the internet fairly represents what we experience every day. Why? Because you and your ancestors are degenerate ingnoramuses that threw out everyone worth saving 200 years ago.
You're living in a 3rd world shithole and you don't even realize it.

Toast message
"If my restaurant isn't bringing in $1m in revenue a year with something like $300k raw profit ..."
These two statements contradict one another.
Other companies have massive margins, exceeding even 90%. Software for instance.
30% is pretty thin. A shift in the marketplace will put us out of business. A bad reputation and it's over. If one of the local factories goes out of business we're screwed.
