>If you found out I was paying say...$6.00 per hour + your >tips, would you apply?
definitely sounds great. The only possible downside would be if the public knew and subsequently tipped less, because they knew the servers were being "taken care of." odds are though, that with 6 an hour and a majority of the guests not knowing that the server was making more, it would work out well.
>If I said "If I'm taking care of you, YOU had better take >care of ME." Meaning, be on time, do your job 110% day in >and day out, etc.......would you find a problem with that?
I do that and more for 2.13 already, so yeah.
>If I offered more money than competitors as well as health >benefits.....would you be more inclined to stay with me.
no doubt. PTO, decent health plans, none of those benefits are really offered to servers right now.
>If I opened a place that offered such things and hired you, >would you be willing to make food/beverage service your >"career"....
sure. but like I mentioned in the original post, I'm moving to managment and the opportunity to do so kept me in the industry for awhile. as long as there wasn't a glass ceiling for your servers, anyone who enjoys the work enough, should consider making it a career.

yeah, there are some fine dining establishments where the servers make about 3 or 4 times what I'll be making in a management role for a corporate restaurant like Don Pablo's. As long as servers know what will be expected of them when they're hired, they should be up to the task.

I'm setting high standards for the servers I manage that are getting paid just 2.13, so I agree with you.
