This is definitely pretty standard across the board in this industry. Even myself, as a General Manager, see weeks where my servers and bartenders make more money than my salary. Makes me feel like I should’ve never stopped bartending sometimes! Chefs are certainly the backbone of any restaurant.
Yeah servers in my experience always had the nice cars, longer vacations, look cleaner, and were generally able to afford a healthier lifestyle. The best spot in FOH is an hourly Captain. Never take salary as a Captain.
I used to get secretly get tipped out by a server in Vegas and I made sure to give her table priority on all tickets. Which boosted her tips even further. She was very kind and a great individual so the fact that she did this with the kitchen veterans was such a help in my personal life. She called it sharing the love.
