Working as restaurant staff is one of the lowest-paying jobs in America. According to Ozy, tipped workers earn a minimum wage of $2.13. Chefs are often expected to show up two hours before their shift to prep, resulting in two unpaid hours spent working. A few restaurants like Camino have started to try to improve working conditions. By removing tips, they are available to raise the pay and give their staff merit-based hourly wages. These wages are a safety net and do not decrease during slow hours the way tips do. Do you think this is the way to fix the restaurant industry?
