Shortly before opening, Casa Bonita’s new owners Matt Stone and Trey Parker decided to eliminate tipping and instead pay workers a flat wage of $30 per hour.

Now I could be wrong, but getting a an hourly wage as a restaurant worker is FAR better than relying on tips. I feel like either workers in this situation are too obsessed with tips or there’s huge context missing.

$50 per labor hour meaning, you have five front of house staff so five labor hours per hour, some number BoH another bunch of hours per hour, we're talking up to a grand to the owner's pocket per hour? Fuck, that is not a tight margin, fuck that

    Yeah basically, not sure how well it translates to a sit-down restaurant, nor how that compares to other cities.

    But even if the real number is half that for some reason (and I was already conservative in estimating the numbers I gave) that's still considerably more than the 7.25-13 that fast food workers make.
