Service Fee & Commission ModelToday’s World looks much different than it did just a few short years ago and we have had to continuously evolve our Restaurant Brands to ensure we can continue to offer the highest quality food and service possible to our guest’s, while ensuring the Ultimate Well Being of our Staff and the Families they support. Due to increasing wages, labor challenges, rising food costs, supply chain issues and recent legislation we have had to Evolve Our Service. We have created a Commission Based Pay Model and have implemented a Service Fee on all restaurant sales to Ensure Our Team is Positioned for Success, Our Beloved Guests Receive the Highest Quality of Service and Ensure our Restaurant Brands are positioned for Success for the Future.Reasons We Have Moved on From a Conventional Tipping SystemThe Traditional Tipping Model provides very unpredictable incomes for Hospitality Professionals. Within Today’s Labor Environment these inconsistencies make it very difficult to find employees, by changing pay models will eliminate those challenges. A more consistent pay model leads to more dedicated, happy, hard working team members which ultimately leads to unforgettable dining experiences amongst our guests. Under the Old Tipping Model, all of the Service Members tipped Supporting team members a portion of their tipped incomes that was provided by the Guest, and under the new Model it is not much different. Before the Server and Bar Team Members tipped out 4.5% of their tipped income to the Support Team members based off of the sales that they produced while on a shift. With the New Commission Based Pay Model, the Server/Bartender Team Members keep 15-17% of the 20% Service Fee depending on their position within the company.
