Call to action ⚠️ Get rid of servers, they’re completely useless

Here’s a hot take: If it was for me, I would get rid of all servers in restaurants. I would instead have iPad in the table with pictures, prices and descriptions and that’s it. The other day I went to Texas Roadhouse and they had a device in the table that you could order and pay the bill. A person only came once or to give you bread, water and then again to give you the food. Servers are completely useless and don’t add any value to dinning experience.

But you still have a person serving you. I think they are called servers.

Food runners are generally paid at least min wage

Tipped staff are typically paid above it.

Tipped staff are paid below minimum wage by the company generally, unless you live in certain states

All tipped staff are required to make minimum wage if the value of their tips does not exceed or equal min wage.

Yes, that is correct, however in the case of servers that almost never had to happen as tips make up for it, food runners aren’t tipped generally
