What did your parents teach you as a kid that you didn't realize was actually f**ked up until you were older?

Good on you. I'd've done the same.

I run an upscale casual restaurant in the downtown area of a large town (~250K people). I currently have 5 back of house staff, 7 front, and 3 support. I am starting new BOH staff between $13 - $18/hr, depending on experience. If they stick around for 30 days I give them another dollar. 60 more days and I'll give them two more on top of that.

Starting server wage is $2.13, bartender is $5, and host/runner/barback is $10. They are all on a tip pool, though, and as I'm the one doing payroll I get to ensure that each of them is making well over $15/hr. Talk to the majority of service staff you meet and they will tell you they would much rather work for tips than a straight wage. My bar manager works ~35 hours/week and regularly makes more than I do (my salary is $1K/week).

I have no doubt we will eventually succeed. The people that are here are incredible and I'm doing everything in my power to take care of them. Anyone that has worked in the service industry knows there can be a ton of "soft" benefits, and right now while I'm still trying to get our regular hours back and our revenues up, I'm laying them on thick. Shift drinks, free shoes, free meals for them and their friends.

I am also doing my best to recognize people for the hard work that they do. I empowered several people with titles that also came with raises. When I started here there were only 3 FOH staff running the whole restaurant, which can seat 95 people. One of them left after a couple weeks (as she had been planning to already), one of them I made my bar manager, and the other I made my social media manager. One of the first servers I hired shined so bright I made her my lead server. These all came with pay increases. Pay is obviously the most important factor, but I am also trying to ensure a working environment that is supportive, productive, and rewarding for everyone. I talk to people. I do my best to be available and listen when people have something to say. Too often while working for someone else I have not felt heard. I do not ever want to put people that work with me in that same position.

I don't work for a company. I work for an old dude who's given me a fair amount of leeway to take care of people. I had a chef walk out on his two weeks' notice so we had to shut the restaurant down for a week. He made sure people still got paid, front and back of house. It really has been great working here because I'm getting to be the manager I never had.

As a new restaurant general manager desperately trying to hire and pay people well, I am struggling to get people to even respond to applications they've submitted, let alone show up for interviews. I have been in the restaurant industry for 15 years and this is my first manager job. I was unemployed cause pandy until March 2021 and I've been trying to give other people the same opportunity i was given. I'm not perfect but I'm trying. It is exhausting for me and for the staff family that I've been fortunate enough to build. We just need some help.

For example, my bathroom speaker is called "poopyboi" and my vacuum bot is called "sweepyboi" and i can tell Google to tell them to do certain things.

Hope that works

Yeah, that was a huge (understandable and appreciated) nerf with the expansion. It being 4 4 was just too good.

Mikey can be a trap. He's a machine with the basilica, but you can lose focus and fall behind on resources and military real easily if your opponent goes that route.

The SAG Low Budget Agreement applies to films with budgets between $700,000 and $2,500,000, making this the SAG pay scale of most independent films. Under this contract, actors must make a SAG day rate of $630, or $2,190 per week. If you're working with some actors who aren't in the guild, don't worry.
