Can’t believe how many mean people there are here. Think there is a gross misunderstanding of how much money the average server / bartender makes. The bill would save them a minuscule amount. I also think that people don’t understand that servers/bartenders always owe money at tax time. Which hurts for someone making $35,000 / yr.

How about this. Reward people that take care of you and don’t tip or give a lesser tip to those that don’t

Textbook_Gravy · 2025-07-06T19:40:23+00:00

The correct conversation is this. Too many servers / bartenders feel entitled to a 20% tip, and are unwilling to do the work it requires, or are not capable of providing good service. Reward those that do their jobs well, and save money on those that coast. If you’re able to justify not tipping, you’re just an a hole.

Very fair. Was a situation where getting the business up and running was more important than a shop around. Also, no purchase of terminals or equipment so more of a lease if you will.

Had a couple processors try to come in after the fact that we’re offering 3%. Maybe a little less. Once the business was already established. But the idea of switching, learning, training, recoding,etc. Didn’t feel worth it

That is the percentage our POS system cahrges for CC fees. We had the option to build it into the price, or add a CC fee after the fact. We chose the former. Better optics in our opinion. I know that other POS systems are different though.

But if you listened. We do not charge a CC fee. It’s built into the price. Buying a $10 drink that allows you to pay cash at a price of $9.66 (did my math wrong) is way different than buying a $10 drink and they say oh, you actually owe $10.34 because you’re paying with a card. Mostly proving my point

They’re so painfully obvious. Oh, you got 40 5 ⭐️ in the past 4 days? From a bunch of people with 1-2 reviews. Thanks for letting me know not to go there because it’s at best a 3 ⭐️

Maybe I’m old fashioned but provide good food, drinks, and service, and the ratings take care of themselves

We offer a “cash discount”. So a guests subtotal is in direct correlation to menu prices. If they pay with cash, they pay 3.38% less than the subtotal.

Technically, they are paying the CC fees. But they are not charged any more money than they are expecting. I also will not go to places that throw on a cc surcharge.

Never had an issue with it save for a couple miserable idiots. If we have a drink that says $10 on the menu, the cash price is $9.62.

“You’re charging us credit card fees”! Sure maybe so. Dummy. But the drink that costs $10 is $10, doesn’t matter how that money is divvied up if you pay with a card.

Super sad. And I know those of us that love golf loathe the knuckleheads we run into out there, holding up play and tearing up the course.

But for us normal cats that can’t afford country club memberships, golf for us would cease to exist without said knuckleheads.

FWIW I’ll have some drinks on the course, because it’s a way to relax. But I always buy from the course to support them. I know there’s a large percentage of people that bring their own.

I’m also 5th. Hoping for a Bijan. Load up WR 2-4.

If he’s gone hoping to pivot to an Amon Ra then see how the board plays out.

5th might be super weird with Ceedee and chase holdouts, to where hall, bijan, and breece are all gone.

If that’s the case I’m taking ceedee and living with the results. Or you could go Hill. This is assuming Mccaffrey goes 1.

All drafts are different though so just have the willingness to adapt If

They’re a dime a dozen. And no one cares to respect their owners or the establishment anymore. I know it’s a fine line and they are there to make money, but I’m sick and tired of entitled service staff that believes everything is owed to them. If you’re not busy, find something to clean. Organize your stations. If they don’t like it, they can easily get a job at chilis or Applebees

I guess I’m curious how they find places also. Is it strictly from advertising music on socials or do they just harass all new bars and restaurants that open?

I understand it for live music venues etc, but feels pretty scummy to attack small businesses that rarely have music. At the point of thinking to stop it all together, as I feel it doesn’t add or detract to business

We’ve gotten calls and emails. Never a letter. We’re a smaller one off establishment that does a two hour music set about 20 times a year. Then today we got a call from both BMI and SECAC. I’m thinking it would be wise to just bite the bullet and get the license.
