Pros
HOST: easy job, great first job, income is 5/hr + 2% of total sales from servers. pretty laid back job on weekdays and morning shifts. The busier the restaurant, the more in tips you'll get. SERVER: potential for GREAT money, income is just from tips. they are able to work great with students and their school schedules. WEEKENDS and NIGHTS are the shifts to work to make money.
Cons
Host: deal with the servers attitudes, bussing, dealing with rude people at the door. The pay can be low if only working day shifts. Server: income is all from tips. (this CAN a con sometimes) this is also a con if you get sat with people that do not tip well. At the end of the night, you are tipping your host and the bartender so sometimes having only a few tips you go negative.. (tip your server)
