I waited tables again last night! It has become engrained in me to do this job! Anyways last night I had great tips, and I did several different methods and recorded my thoughts and tips. So this post is going to deal with the “personal touches” that I tried last night!
An older couple sat outside at Table #41. They ordered soup, burgers and salads. This couple was a middle aged and quite delightful to wait on. ticket total $27.67; tip total $6; percent 22%
Five people sat at table #26. They split the ticket into 3. I touched the shoulder of the first two gentleman; but not the third.
- ticket #1 $25.01; tip $4.5; percent 18%
- ticket #2 $30.49; tip $4.5; percent 15%
- ticket #3 $9.17; tip $1.5; percent 16%
A couple sat outside at table #41. They ordered alcoholic drinks, appetizers and entrees. I lightly touched the gentleman on the shoulder when I dropped off their ticket. total $54.29; tip $8; percent 15%
Average: 17.5%
