Originally Posted by impulseX I'm not gonna lie, but I kinda feel sorry for some of your guy's kitchen experiences.
I work at the Keg. Started there 3 years ago at $12/hr. got a raise to $13 after 3 months. Another 6 months down the road, raise to $14. Didn't really focus my time there for the next year and a half because of school and finding another kitchen to work in (for the experience). After that, I ended up having to go to a different Keg because of some disagreements with my KM, and got a raise to $15/hr at the new Keg. It doesn't even matter how busy we get, it's still enjoyable to work in. Maybe because I want to be in this industry, but it largely has to do with the team I work with.
Those who think that you need to be a KM figure to start making the $17/hr, i'm sorry but its not necessarily true. The key point that those who are interested, need to understand, that its LARGELY dependant on the restaurant that you work for. I know guys on that line that make around $18 and up, yet they aren't KM. They help keep things positive and running on the line, but it's also because of their performance for the stations.
From what I can recall, servers do get taxed on their tips. I could be wrong, but thats what I recall.
With tip pool, again, it is dependant on the restaurant and the breakdown. I average around $5/hr in tips. On a slower night, maybe $3.50-$4/hr.
I do agree with view towards servers about how tipping isn't a requirement, but dependant on their performance. Keep in mind, servers dont ALWAYS walk away with money earned. I've seen nights where they go home losing money, because their tables didn't tip enough for them to pay the tip pool.
Back to OP's original question, I do agree that your wage is significantly low for a KM, and you should definitely talk about getting a raise. But keep in mind what restaurant it is, and how far you can really push that raise. | iuno i talked to some closer co workers about their wages.. people who are newly hired are making more then me and they're experience is nonetheless similar or less then mine.. and ive worked there for nearly a year and a half...

Restaurant industry/cook career... I tell you this now your in it for Passion not for Money.
One of the hardest/under rated industries to work in..
Anyways I think average franchise pay is about 9-10 starting not including tip ($1-2 average)

talented waitress who flash their tits - PRICELESS!!! | Sous chefs make 24? I find that hard to believe. The rest sounds pretty accurate though.I work very closely with a former corporate chef of joeys, and he has been quite open with me about the wages there. As a chef I make 19+tips+unlimited food and booze(providing I'm not retarded and don't take advantage of it) for an small restaurant. There is a lot more money to be made in hotels, and some chains, but to have menu control, and a family feel is well worth the bit less money at this point in my life.

use to work 40/5 a week, school started now so about 24/3 along with picking up shifts during the weekday if im available as a support body.
| Sorry but in what way are you a Kitchen Manager working 3 days a week? If I was your employer I wouldn't consider you for a raise unless you showed more commitment to the job.
Even still 11$ is quite low even for a line position and your experience.
Your current employer is probably taking advantage of you to the point they have given you some sort of title but you are not working full time and realize they probably don't need to give you a raise.

They just didn't take that role away from me after I went to school xd. Sure I show commitment though  get angry like >  if someone turns off any timer without checking the oven lol. Treat it like my own food is getting wasted lololol

I think the term kitchen manager is being grossly misused in this thread. You work 3 days a week, you aren't a KM. KM=chef. It sounds like you are shift supervisor, but still you are underpaid if you are even doing that.

I also was previously working full-time 40 hr +/weeks before I went back to school.

Consequently the heads of those "Managers" swell as does their feeling of self importance.
I wish I had a chance to see what some of the asshole "Managers" of Canadian Tire whom I worked for are doing now... Those clowns of "Managers" really make you appreciate when you get a good Manager at a real job.
