Does a waitress make good money?

It depends a lot on how good of a waitress you are. I've had some work for me that made more than the managers but they were also very good with people. There is a lot to the job you need to consider, it's just not taking out food to people.

yes. there are a lot of things that you need to take into consideration.

what type of restaurant is it? that can play a huge role in the amt. of tips you receive. also, what shift will you be working. I found (in resort areas) the breakfast shift was almost as profitable as the evening shift, but required a lot more work and a lot more patience since it was morning.

be sure to have a neat appearance. we were able to wear our own clothes or a shirt with a logo of the restaurant. i always opted for long sleeves because I think they look cleaner. i also made sure my shirts were neatly pressed and no chipped nail polish. subtle make-up and perfume. be sure to pay as much attention to the females at the tables as the males because even if the male is paying, the female will influence the tip. be polite. be knowledgeable about the menu items. offer to bring the kids some crackers to snack on or their meals first.

basically, be a suck up. i could (and generally) made several hundred dollars per shift in tips.

good luck.

It absolutely depends on where you work. If you work all night to serve food and the tab never goes over $50...guess what? Not too much money. On the other hand, work somewhere where the check average is well over $100...good money.
With making good money comes the responsibility of knowing the craft. Learn about cocktails, wine, etiquette, table maintenance, team work, culinary terms, etc.
I have been a professional server for 10 years and make $25 an hour at the low end, $40 an hour average, and $70 an hour high end.
I am ALL ABOUT the service industry though. It's my profession. I have a website that teaches people how to be better through articles, printable material and courses. Take a peruse or contact me if you ever have any specific questions.

Yeah.Waitress do make good money depending on the time of day and how busy the restaurant is and their policy regarding tips.You may make more money on tips in the evenings,special events and holiday periods.The restaurant policy may be to automatically charge customers tips which all waitress share at the end of the day or leave it to individual customers to tip the waitress as they deem fit.whichever way it is, waitress can make lots of money on tips and hence get paid a meagre wage but make it up with tips or get paid a higher wage with less tips involved.Consider all these factors before you delve into the waitress world.Of course pretty waitresses and courteous ones make good money too-sometimes by the side.hope this helps.
