How much money do I make waiting tables?

Make Money

The IRS says waiters get a least 10% tips on all their sales.
In a place where your daily sales are $500 you can be assured that you take at least $50 home.
In a dinner restaurant where the average check runs $ 100 or more you may do about $1500 on sales and that equals $150 a day or more take home pay.
So with this to make money you may want to work in the place with the highest sales.
The exceptions are nightclubs and casinos where an experienced cocktail waitress may be able to double or triple the percentage of tips.
