(We always do!) Most of you reading this probably do too! So, yeah I totally believe the $76,000 to be very close to accurate! I also talked to servers that work at WDW before I posted this. Now WDW, every restaurant there is slammed all the time!!! They can add grats to any party of 6 or more and they have a LOT of big parties there! People, most of them, are happy because they're at WDW and tip generously. They just don't! As long as you claim 8% you're safe. Again, this was a decade ago, and our menu prices were nowhere near as high as WDW! No server claims everything they make either. I actually worked the morning shift when tips are a good 25% less than a night shift! Most days I walked with $300 after tip out. However, for the year I never made less than $35,000 after my 4% tip outs and usually I'd make as high as $50,000! Rarely did I ever work a double. Especially then before there was more year round stuff to do we'd have days in the Winter when I'd come home with only $100.

Watch the bartenders, ask them questions, help them out, don't tell them you're wanting to take their job. Hit up the Clermont area for the chain restaurants and serve for awhile. HHN always hires a ton of bartenders for the parks and, even though it will just be throwing things into a cup, at least you could put bartender down. I would suggest going to a casting call for events at Disney and universal. You don't get hired as a bartender straight out down here. 20% or $1/drink in North America is quite common (often because of our lower priced drinks and staff that is paid a lower amount) and a good guideline to follow overall.Ħ) I just started as a barback but know nothing where do I start? Check out this. Tips are always appreciated, and it is generally up to the patron to decide what to tip. See what other people are tipping and match that to be safe. Ordering a Cosmo at a busy cocktail lounge on a friday night in New York, one would expect to tip more than ordering a bottle of beer at a pub in Ireland. Take a few minutes to read through some past threads posted about bartending as a career.Ĥ) Where can I find more information about X Alcohol? Try one of the subreddits listed below, or the website for that brand.ĥ) How much should I tip?
