A server at Texas Roadhouse has gone viral on TikTok for revealing how much she makes in a night.
Jules, aka @joolieannie on TikTok documents what it’s like working as a Texas Roadhouse server in the now-viral video.
She says that even though it was slow that night, she still made $61 in “like three hours.” After adding her hourly wage to the total, her earnings came to about $25 an hour.
Viewers were pretty excited about Jules’ experience as a server
“Just applied after watching this,” one viewer declared.
Fellow Texas Roadhouse servers seemed to confirm how much you can make working there.
“I love serving at roadhouse! the money gets so good when they start giving you those big tables,” someone said.
“I work at roadhouse and keep at it and busy nights and seasons you’ll get $30+ easily!” another claimed.
Servers with experience at other restaurants shared their own stories of financial success in the service industry.
“I made 68 in 4 but doing door dash. I hate it but doing it while I find a regular job,” one viewer shared.
“Girlllll… learn to bartend! I average around $1000 a night!!! I only work 3 days a week,” a commenter claimed. “I work at a private club area for a professional sports team…If you have a team in your city I bet you have a private club in the arena.”
Some commenters had questions
“Can you explain tippin…I always wonder what’s an appropriate amount some say just double the tax? So I’ve been doubling and rounding off…,” a viewer explained.
“Today I learned that I should probably tip more,” another said.
According to experts and many service industry workers, 20% is a standard tip.
The travel group Education First explains in a blog post, “Industry insider: common consensus says 15-20% is considered a normal tip, but honestly any amount less than 20% is considered a bad tip. If I (or the other servers I worked with) got less, we wondered what we did wrong.”
Even though the federal minimum wage for tipped labor in the U.S. is a mere $2.13, some commenters agree that it’s a good way to make a living if you work at the right restaurant.
“Serving is a great choice for making fast money,” one viewer explained. “When u move to bigger sections and it’s busy u can take home over 200 in 4 hrs.”
