I have some doubt regarding pf contribution... Say for example.. 12% of my base salary is 600 which gets deducted from my salary.. on the flip side.. the company has to contribute 600 to my pf (which is actually deducted from my salary only like already part of CTC)?. So my question again is that.. the company contributes 600 as well? PwC
How do I make millions?
At the moment it’s actually both

The issue is that restaurants are using tip pooling to get out of paying BOH what they deserve. I am not against a tip out to BOH. But pooling imo is not acceptable. Each foh person has their own duties and each BOH person has their own duties. Now, I recognize that a lot of restaurants don’t make a great profit, however, FOH and BOH are two separate entities and BOH needs to be given an appropriate wage in the first place.
BOH folk are not at risk for their earnings at low volume. FOH folk are at risk for their earnings at high volume.
I'm happy to pool. Our BOH team is incredible and I know they aren't paid nearly enough. I couldn't do my job (and earn tips) without them, so I can't complain about them getting a cut.
I think it should be a "voluntary" tip out meaning you need to tip the kitchen but the server can decide how much to tip. This way it encourages the boh to work harder and treat servers better in order to get a better tip at the end of the night. You the server don't deserve the tip tbh, you didn't make the food or cocktails and yet you feel you are entitled to all of the tip? Most servers in my experience are glorified order takers while the heart of the restaurant has always been the kitchen.
