Compensation & Schedule Base salary: $100,000+ Revenue-linked gratuity share: Currently approximately $40,000 annually Profitability bonus: Up to $40,000 Expected total compensation: $140,000–$180,000 This is a five-day schedule within a Tuesday-to-Sunday evening operation, with approximately four nights spent leading on the floor.
