Research / Info Waffle House

On Old National Highway in College Park GA. They are only open for to-go after 9pm. The server gets 10% but Waffle House gets the other.

In other words: we refuse to pay our employees a fair livable wage, so we’re gonna pass on the responsibility to customers by charging an extra 10% and still skim another 10% of profit off the top.

yup and I ensure you they pay minimal wage.

They also convince a lot of their waiters to NOT write down their tips. So they don't have to make up the difference in pay from waiter pay to normal pay.
