How much should a server in a restaurant tip out?

Answer by  dedre (998)

The server will tip out a percentage of the meals and drinks sold on his or her log at the end of the shift. Normally, the server will tip the hostess, bartender, and the expeditor(the person who checks the meals before leaving the kitchen). In most cases, the hostess is paid minimum wage with tips included.

If you are eating at the restaurant you work at or at a different restaurant, it is still polite to tip at 15%. If you are referencing the practice of tip sharing, that varies from business to business, but you should keep at least half of the tips you earn.
