Made 8 an hour and sometimes could make 30 - 60 in tips per night. If you run food you can get free meals. Some servers you dont need to help out as much and they end up tipping you better. You can average about $15 for an hourly wage

You work 10 to 12 hours on a double shift which sucks On Friday and Saturdays you split tips with another busser sometimes and barely bring home $120 and thats if u got lucky enough to have great servers on your side who tipped close to 10% Work 8 hours on friday and saturday night and overall make $120 while some servers make $200 in less amount of time and then give you a 5% tip for your 8 hours of bussing ur ass off. Your going to average about $450 a week for 40hours, (trust me, no other busser in all of olive garden does as much as myself, Running the food, pre-bussing, serving, getting drinks, cleaning the tables, rolling silverware and setting up the side station.) The servers will pretty much ask for your help on every little chore sometimes and then will give you HALF of what another server gives you. Average tip out per server is about $7 and theres only 5 to 7 of them for yourself. While they make an average of $7 per table and can flip 3 tables in an hour. Bussers are compensated about 8 by the business and another 7 by the servers together per hour for 15 an hour. ALL IN ALL ... JUST BECOME A SERVER ....SEPARATE YOURSELF FROM THEIR PROBLEMS AND FOCUS DIRECTLY ON THE CUSTOMERS....
