Reports that the company are diverting tips away from the waitresses to boost kitchen staff wages instead of paying kitchen staff more. Some waitresses say they are losing up to 2k a year. And since the tips are often given via credit card transactions they are losing out. |

I think that the practice is more that tips are split from floor staff with kitchen staff. I’ve ran restaurants where that was common.
It’s a way of sharing tips with everyone who helped to earn the tip, floor staff don’t earn the tips in isolation so it’s not that they loose money, they’re just sharing it with those that helped to earn the cash |

If you enjoy your meal it’s tempting to think oh boy what good service. It’s the friggin’ kitchen staff that prepared it. They shout and scream at the waiting staff to get that food to you in the best possible condition/time. Lazy fuckers many waiters who too often pocket the tips. |

I think tips should be shared - it's service and the smile /care ... But its also the quality /speed of the food +presentation etc. I used to work in a restaurant in my teens/20s and we shared tips... The waitresses took a slightly higher cut i think and we kept that daily... The kitchen staff saved theirs over the year I think.. It was seasonal work, so made a difference at the end of the season
I think i used to take around £30 daily in tips 30-35 years ago.. It was (is still) a really busy /popular place
Now, paying people decent wages.. That is a completely different issue and should be addressed to your local MP |

"Often big chain companies don't give the staff the PDQ tips and use them to 'top up wages'
It's worth asking the server who gets the money.
"
Very true, it’s criminal as the company is paying less than minimum wage |

Do they get to keep the money if the tip is cash? Or are they forced to hand it over?
I hate tips. People should be paid a decent wage, not made to grovel for top ups.  |

Where I work card tips go into my wages, and it is titled "tips"
We each have our own individual PDQ login number so they know who it goes to. It shows up on our session receipt.
Cash tips, each server puts a pound in the kitchen pot if they work the morning and 2 quid in the pot if they work the evening. Kitchen tips get shared twice yearly. That's how our kitchen team chose to do it so that they get a boost around Xmas.
Each site works differently based on how they decided it was fair. Works well for us. |

I think it was Pizza Express that was identified as taking 8% of the value of tips left on credit card slops a number of years ago. |

Iv worked as a waitress before and we kept our own tips.
The kitchen staff didn't get any but the reason management decided to do that was because the kitchen staff got paid more and the floor staff were expected to see tips as a part of there wage. |
