You’ve probably been to restaurants a million times… and have always tipped your servers well. But did you know that waiters, waitresses and bartenders can make a very good living? It’s true.

And who gets the lion’s share of those tips? Yep, you guessed it. Waiters, waitresses and bartenders.
But do servers actually make good money?
Well, some can make very good money, especially those waiters, waitresses and bartenders that serve at high end establishments where a dinner for four could cost hundreds of dollars, and a single cocktail could run $25 bucks or more.
But even servers at chain restaurants can make good money. We’ll give you one now-viral example of how much money a server in a chain restraint can make… in just a second.

Now, get this:
Texas Roadhouse, a chain restaurant with over 600 locations spread across America has some very well-paid servers.[2] And what they’ve actually shared on social media is wild.

Showing off $920 in cash, in just a week!
Another Texas Roadhouse server, @post_maddie, posted on her TikTok saying she makes hundreds of dollars a day… with a one-day total of $455!
So, yes, some chain restaurant workers can make a very good amount of money… and much of that pay is in cold hard cash.
