Sounds like an unsustainable business model if you can't pay employees a living wage.

Yes. No one should be making less than minimum wage.

I know I sound like a corporate drone by saying this, but profit margins in most restaurants are not booming and wages can't be raised much.

People claim they are willing to pay 25+ dollars for a burger if the restaurant staff is paid well, but most restaurant owners don't want to take that gamble.

In non-food/hospitality industries, it is often just corporate greed. So don't take my statements as me defending CEOs being greedy. And every restaurant type is different. For example, a Subway franchisee owner is just hoping not to lose his shirt (John Oliver does an excellent breakdown on franchising restaurants and how shitty it is)

Why do you want servers to earn less? Are you that selfish?

I made more money on weekends serving in CT than working anywhere else full time. People here are great tippers. Serving is hard but the money is worth it. Servers should always be tipped workers. It’s a big part of American restaurant culture.
