Since ours in the US is generally a percentage of the bill, people in expensive restaurants can make more. Do they work harder? Do they have fewer tables so less checks are tipping? 20% tips on 5 hundred dollar tables is $100 every 60-90 minutes, but shifts are usually only a few hours. So maybe $3-400 for a 4-5 hour dinner shift? In a diner you’d are probably half that per table but for more tables and faster turnover. What’s a good wage?

    This is only as of June 1, 2021.

    Directly prior to this if was $13.95/hr for “liquor servers” when regular min wage was was $15.20/hour.

    Ontario had a different rate until Jan 2022. I think they still have a “student” minimum wage.

    It’s not as stark a difference as it is in some states but it has been part of the reasoning for tipping here as well, in the past.
