I’ve worked in a number of places as a chef (from low to high end) and that was never the case anywhere I worked. To be fair, it’s been almost a decade though, so maybe I’m out of date.
Comment on Restaurant group in Massachusetts is trying to reject a public vote on paying tipped workers
Plastic_Ramses@lemmy.world 5 months agoIt’s not 1995 anymore. Most restaurants require chefs to be tipped out.
Its only the really shitty ones that dont.

Fwiw, the industry has changed. Chefs are paid on par with foh nowadays.

There is a good chance local markets differ here too.
Plastic_Ramses@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Not wrong. The local markets i have experience with are the most populated locations in the United States. Portland, chicago, New york, miami, seattle, la, sf, atlanta.
I would imagine living in hondo, tx sucks ass but that’s not because of tipping.

From my limited experience working in restaurants, the chefs also get paid at least minimum wage if not more

Of course they do, it’s the law. It’s crazy to me that servers are (seemingly randomly) excluded from this and have to rely on tips.

In most major cities youd be hard pressed to find even an ‘ok’ position that is paying minumum wage. Most are making 20-25+tips.
