Former employee here! Back in 2015/16, it was a tip pooling situation but I would lose anywhere between $200-$300 a night and do unpaid side work for 2 hours after the restaurant closed. They do an amazing job with hiring great staff, but it’s such a bummer that the follow through doesn’t match the quality folks that they hire. Also a bummer because they make quality food that folks earnestly enjoy.

They don’t. Cash is taken by managers or shift lead and counted at the end of the night, is put in a big bag that says “TIPS” and is never seen again. supposed to go into “the tip pool” that doesn’t exist, instead of a pretend set hourly tip rate of “2.00 an hour” AKA not tip, it’s not even the tip average.

I'm in the midst of some random home maintenance tasks that could use a spare set of hands, if you're into following directions one step at a time.

This was a conversation topic on Facebook’s RVA Food & Dine groups in like early 2021. It’s been confirmed over and over and over by employees. I went to get cake and asked the cashier “do you receive the tip?” and they said no, so I did not tip.
