Pay Explanation:

Hourly base pay range does not include tip pooling and options to earn performance based discretionary bonuses alongside the GM. With a small kitchen staff, tip pooling generally adds another $3-$7/hr based on the quality of the food cooked, efficiency of the team, and the customer service experience.

True pay range with hourly pay and tip pooling is $14-$20/hr. Discretionary performance based bonuses are in addition to that rate.
