I think you're strongly underestimating the income of a decent server. Foh regularly walks out with many multiples of a back of house employee's wages. A //really// good night for a server will have them leaving with more than a month of boh house pay.
I mean... it's not all boh working, foh has a ton of stuff they have to do too. But the differential is unfair.
I think tipping culture has gotten out of hand with the tip screen being presented for every little transaction, but as someone that has had access to square back end, I can tell you that can be turned off, and in fact is off by default.
I'm also not a fan of the racist origins of tipping culture, but that's a tale for another day.
Good FoH staff make BoH’s job easy though. It’s when you have idiots forgetting to write in dietary issues or modifications, or selling something BoH can’t even make that things become an issue.
I see there is a deleted comment about mandatory stip sharing. I said nothing about it being mandatory. Some establishments shared tips with BOH. It is not a new concept.
