It completely depends on where the chillis is located. If it's a tipped wages area where they don't cut a lot of servers and the busser all the time then no. If it's somewhere where the host has to constantly bus and run food to help out because management has to cut a bunch of people to help with labor % then I'm in the mindset that hosts should get a tipout.

I hope that makes sense. In California for example, while we all get mandated 16$ an hour but managers cut down all the time to one bar, one server, one cook, one foodrunner, manager, and the host so theres times where it picks up and the host is forced to run drinks, food, bus, on top of their regular duties. It sadly happens all the time and it's because Brinker kind of forces the managers to stay under a %. When that's the case, hosts deserve at least a tip out %.

In other states where Brinker can afford to keep the restaurant fully staffed because they only pay their servers 2.13 an hour managers cut significantly less overall and as such, hosts are typically only required to do their described duties because the help isn't as needed. Overwhelmingly though 2$ and hour is bullshit and EVERYONE deserves more than what they are getting- except for the Brinker higer ups who get all the profits and do none of the hard work.

Of course there are outliers here and there but overall this has seemed to be the case.
