I don't live in a huge city like Las Vegas, Just an average midwestern city. But the area I am working in has a few casinos so I will be a full time cocktail waitress in one of them. I have never been a server before. How much on average does a cocktail waitress make? and any advice on how to make great tips? Thanks!

How much money does a cocktail waitress make?

Ok honey Yes it matters on how good a waitress you act but the cleavage part and that stuff is not nessecary. I am 27 and waitress on the side since I was 16. Attitude and attentivness matter alot. Customers names help (when you card them remember) small talk and lots of smiles :) Do not degrate yourself by flirting and showing boobs babygirl. Unless you are working in a strip club!!! You will have very bad days and work 8 hours for $30 but you will have wonderful days and make $300. Patience is alot of serving and it all adds up. My mother raised 4 kids alone and put us all thru school and lived a decent life being a waitress. People can hate but it's a very good job!!!!!! SMILE :)
Cocktail waitresses do not get paid $7 an hour, I wish we would. It's more like $4 or $5 an hour. That is about $30 to $35 a night (full time). The reason cocktail waitresses get paid so little is because they usually make up the money in tips. On a really good night you can make up to $100 in tips. On a bad night $20. Some advice on getting a good tips ~ Have an up beat attitude at all times ~ Start small talk with costomers ~ Know your alcohol ~ Suggest better quality drinks ~ Always serve the females first ~ If there aren't females always serve the one paying first ~ Make the customer feel like they're your favorite customer ever
It all depends on how much you are willing to do, for instance the way you dress and the way you talk to the customers.
In NJ usually you make between 50 to 100 a night, then you hustle with the tips. I used low cut tops(plus I have big breasts) and talked to the guys in a sweet way. They love to feel taken care of and spoiled. Always be aware of them and you will notice lots of them like to be taken care of by the same person they will return and look for you but it depends on how u take care of them. Many of my customers came back and would make sure to sit in my area. Make sure they are never out of a drink and if you can remember them bring them their favorite drink before they even ask for it. They love that!
In Australia any where from $16 to $18 and hour, time and a half after 7pm and on Saturday and on Saturday Double time......
it depends on how good of a waitress she is and how drunk the guys tipping her are. show cleavage.
It depends how good a waitress she is and where she is working :)
the bigger the **** the bigger the tips
