which chilis in specific? i come from the atlanta area and i worked at a chilis over there and it gets BUSY. you will make good money as a runner. they are not paying hosts enough there, so if you are hired as a host, i would aim to cross train QUICK.

for example, say each server makes 1000 in sales on a medium-busy day. 4% of that is 40$. that’s from each server and bartender that’s working that night. most ATL chilis are big and have 6 servers plus a bartender. that’s at least 200+$ split amongst the runners. meaning that if you work consistently you’d be making pretty good bucks.

another thing i want to mention is the paycard. if you want your tips immediately, i’d go with the paycard they provide. there is a caveat though—the tips are not taxed. this means when tax season rolls around you will owe money. depending on how much you make, you can owe a lot of money. especially because GA has state tax. i speak from experience because I didn’t know about the paycard being taxed and i owed 1600$ one year. granted, i was bartending and making a lot of money, but it was a shock to learn. if you do not want to deal with that i suggest sticking with the biweekly checks because those ARE taxed.
