Reading this thread has validated my response when people say "omg you cook so good you should open a restaurant"  (I'm an IT geek, not even in the industry, so hope it's okay posting here)Question for the thread: We just had our company christmas party, and I was wondering - for an event like that (full dinner, open presumably pre-paid bar, etc,) if you're just attending, would you consider someone a dick for not tipping? I have no clue if there was an autograt involved. Obviously someone wouldn't say no to a tip unless they were forced to, but I didn't even think to bring cash for it. Much respect for what y'all do - I was never the type to be a jerk to a server in the first place, but following this thread has made me appreciate the challenges of dealing with restaurant stuff.

Nobody is going to think you're a dick for not tipping, unless you are the one paying the bill.

If you have to pay for drinks tip on the drinks, if booze is included but you're ordering complicated cocktails instead of beer, wine or like "gin and tonic" tip on those.

Though if it's a busy/large crowd and there's going to be a line at the bar most of the night, as someone who's been on both sides of the bar, being genuinely friendly when you get your first drink and handing over a $20 in exchange will mean you wait in line a whole lot less than most people.

This is true of any bar, not just catered events. Anyone who handed me $20 as a tip when they ordered their first drink always got priority. Conversely, absolutely gently caress any customer who says "take care of me and I'll take care of you." Those people never tipped. Money talks, bullshit walks.

Events where I work charge a (misleading) 21% "admin fee" that goes to "overhead costs." There's no automatic gratuity, and the majority of the people paying do not add gratuity. Tipping the bar is often the only source of gratuity.

Skwirl posted:I would work exactly one event at that place Eh, my last resto did this (20% service fee, I think that's what it was labeled as, I'd have to look) that wasn't a *gratuity* for the staff but was mostly used to pay the PD workers starting at $27+ an hour. I'd rather work 30 hours a week at $27+ an hour with full benefits and perhaps an occasional tip than for minimum wage and relying on highly variable tips to fill in the blanks.

Sandwich Anarchist, I didn't want to clog up your A/T thread with industry chat, so I'm posting it here: Goddrat that is one sexy kitchen. Like, I'm loving jealous about that floor drain of all things. Last place I worked, the floor drain was the size of a mini-golf hole, and not even in the lowest spot in the floor. Good luck trying to deck scrub that poo poo every night, then push all the water and crap into a two-inch hole with the world's oldest squeegee. Oh, and it was a tile floor, too, so you could never get up all the crap that got stuck in the grout lines anyways. And yeah, that was the place that had poo poo water spew up from said mini-golf hole in the kitchen (plus both bathrooms), and we couldn't close even though it was already 10:00pm. I'm poor as dirt right now but still no regrets on nc/ns'ing that joint.

No problems, I was just curious of what you guys thought of it since it’s what the owner decided on. I’ve mostly used Toast but I’ve heard mixed reviews in Revel. Maybe it’s fine for a patisserie, since it’s mostly retail with a limited lunch menu? Tezcatlipoca posted:Dough? Yes, dough. We do croissant, a laminated brioche and kouign-amann. I will not be doing any flooring. Also re: construction dudes. It’s pretty unnerving to try to do intricate entremet work with someone constantly standing outside the door staring like a dog at dinner. Especially since everything should have been finished before the holiday season, we’re all a little irritated. On a positive note, I’ve only been there a little over a month now, so imagine my surprise on Monday when our owner slaps a $100 bill on the table next to me. This is the first job that I’ve ever had a Christmas bonus, holy poo poo.
