Many people dont know exactly how much money you can make as a waitor in a corporate resturant, like fridays, dave and busters, cheesecake factory etc. I thought it was just people talking it up. Well lets just say in 3 days, weekdays, I have made more than I have ever made in a week in my life. On a bad night Im walking away with a hundred in my pocket. Today my friend walked out with about $500.
If you want to make your fox have lots of new parts really fast this is absolutly the way to do it. Turbo time is just around the corner for me at this pace.
btw I work at dave and busters in a mall, and they hired me with no experiance.
Congrats. Getting your foot in the door is the key. As you'll learn, your tips sorta realte(percentage wise) to your sales. The more expensive the restaurant, the more you will typically make. Chains like Fridays, Chili's etc are a good start, but don't get stuck there. Hit up a nice steak house like Ruth's Chris or so, and try applying there.
Living here in Orlando, a major tourist area, its DAMN easy to make money serving. I survive only being scheduled a set 2 shifts a week. This week, after someone called in, I picked up a shift for a friend, and someone called in again, I've pocketed a little over $1,200 in tips working the last 5 nights straight.
With tomorrow(or should I say today now) being almost a holiday, someone might call in, and I've sweet talked management into calling me if anyone does. If I can work tonight, I should be able to make the total $1,500 in 6 nights work.
Yeah, its fully pathetic, and I still find myself laughing at how easy this money is, but I'm not complaining. I'm paying cash for college, and currently shopping the for the one mustang I've always wanted, a teal 93 Cobra. Life is good.
BTW, I noticed this when I was 17. I went with a friend to pick up his whore of a GF who worked at a Denny's. At the time I was at a subway making about $120 a week. While in the car, she mentioned it was sorta busy, and she made $80 in tips. That floored me. This girl make more than half my weeks pay in one night? I quit subway within a couple week, and was hired at a mexican place my family use to visit all the time.
