This depends heavily on where you work: your geographic location and the restaurant. In the United States, most waitresses earn the minimum hourly wage plus tips, which can bring their hourly rate to $10/hour, $15/hour, or more. It also greatly depends on your attitude. No matter what a waitress should always be nice and sweet. This can improve your hourly wage from $10 to $20 or more. In India a waitress in a five star hotel gets about Rs. 20000/- I get paid $2.40 an hour plus tips. Tipped servers are one of the only jobs that can legally pay LESS than the minimum wage. Most servers are paid $2.25- $4.25 per hour, depending upon the state. Most of their income comes from tips.

The amount of money a waitress makes is determined a lot by his or her tips. If he or she is not getting paid hourly than the total amount of tips she is paid determines her hourly wages. Some waiters and waitresses make around $10-20/ an hour. Waiters also tend to make more money on weekend nights when the restaurant is busier and more customers are coming through.

Menu prices or whether the restaurant offers alcohol are other important factors in determining how much a server makes. The more expensive a customers tab is the typically the more tip a server will make. This is why many servers attempt to "up-sell" their customers by encouraging the purchase of appetizers or drinks. A basic tip is 15% of the total check, and a nice tip is 20% of the total check.

Like every other job, the pay varies with the location, but typically this is a low-paying job. With tips added you are supposed to get minimum wage which. varies from state to state- around $8 per hour in most states. Some pretty waitresses in up-scale bars or restaurants gets a lot of large tips.

Servers are typically paid below minimum wage per hour, or around 4 dollars hourly. The expectation is that a large part of their income will come from tips.

In the US, waitresses generally earn a wage, not a salary. They are often paid below minimum wage, depending on the labor laws of the state in which they're employed.
