- With tips = $12/hr
Bartender:
- Utah = $4 – 5 /hr
- With tips = $15/hr
Bussers:
- Hourly = $7
- Total = $11
Valet/Baggage Porter:
- Base = $8
- Total = $13
Pizza Delivery
- Hourly = $7
- Total = $10
Dining:
- Servers = 10 – 30%, $2/person
- Bartenders = $1/drink or 15-20%
- Take-Out = Not required, but often servers, 10% for complicated
- Delivery = 10 – 15%, $2-5 pizza, weather
- Barista = $1/drink, not at chains
Hospitality
- Housekeeper = $2 -5/night, leave note
