Service Charge: Sa employees ba ng restaurants talaga napupunta?

[falken]

Am just curious, does the service charge that we pay with our food bills really go to the restaurant employees or does it go to the restaurant owners?

[qman]

yes it does...

I used to work sa Shakeys pizza and aside from the regular salary namin noon meron pang distribution of service charge every 25th of the month. Hinahati iyon ayo sa working hours mo sa isang buwan, sa dami ng empleyado at sa total amount na nalikom.

Lahat ng empleyado ng branch nayon nakakatanggap kahit ang manager.

[GlennSter]

yep.

[maykel]

di pa kasali yun tip sa mga waiters, yun mga sukli na iniiwan pagkabayad ... iniipon din yun then divide din nila

[oldblue]

at syempre pati libre pagkain nila hehehe. yun kaibigan ko na nag-waiter sa isang fine dining resto sa Morato, d na kumakain sa bahay, breakfast, lunch, dinner sa resto na.

[konde]

i usually dont give a tip anymore pag merong service charge sa bill, except kung talagang excellent ang service.

[karlbo]

Yes!! at the end of the shift/day, as the store closes hahatiin na nila yung TIP collected dun sa lahat ng mga nakaduty that day...

TIP ang additional income para sa iba... dahil hindi naman ganun kataas yung sahod nila...

[BoEinG_747]

paano naman iyon sa mga repair shop ng tsikot nyo?
..nag bibigay din ba kayo ng Tip sa mga technician nila at mag kano ?.
.meron kasi kahit abutan mo na ng pang inom kasama pang pulutan
ay nakasimangot pa din (baka gusto ksama pang hapunan)

depende sa trinabaho naman nila...

eh kung paghigpit lang ng turnilyo eh tapos mag expect pa sya ng P100...aba eh, abuso yun.

[BlueGirl]

ang alam ko sa kanila napupunta kasi paghahatian nila plus yung mga tip na binigay..

[qman]

sa tip merong centralized at non centralized.

Mas maganda iyong centralized dahil iniipon ang tip then hati hati at the end of the day or sa specific period na napag usapan, iyong non centralized eh kanya kanya sila basta me naka assign sa kanilang mga table kung sino umupo roon at me tip sa waiter na iyon.

[bilog]

yup... service charge is divided among restaurant employees.

[falken]

Thanks for the replies guys, dati kasi nahihiya ako if I don't leave a tip even if they've already included the service charge. Now that I know it really goes to the employees, I won't be bothered by it anymore.

[ian_rex]

ako pag kasama na ang service charge, hindi na. kasama na yun. i asked somebody when i dined out. they (the crew) pointed it out to me, there is no need to leave a tip.

also, my uncle used to be a head waiter in a catering business for sometime. giving out tip is like saying, "i appreciate your service". kaya whenever i got the chance to give out tip i do kasi its like being polite to them.

medyo OT: wag nyo babastusin ang mga crew. nakupo, totoo pala yung mga stories na kapag binastos mo sila, e gumaganti sila.

totoo nga po yon! my father used to be a bartender! meron pa nga daw dati na nilasing nila yung isa nilang kostumer...

yung 2 ko frend na used to work sa isang 5-star sa makati, meron daw isang masungit na costumer na nacheck-in sa hotel nila, nung nag-order daw ng bread and juice, yung bread daw eh "kinaskas" sa wall bago tinoast and yung juice nilagyan daw nila ng L_W_Y.

kaya OK na mag-tip at maging mabait sa mga crew

yup yup those are all true.
i have a very good friend who's a manager of a hotel.. minsan pag sobrang sungit at unreasonable ng customer.. sya pa nga naguutos na gawing "special" yung pagkain e.

kaya maging mabait kayo sa kanila. if may mga reklamo kayo, do it after the food and drinks have arrived

[mazdamazda]

not always... depende yan sa management... though more often than not - pinaghahatian yan ng crew.

[chain]

medyo OT: reminds me of what I saw sa movie "Waiting"... hehehe

[silhouette]

yup, sa employees yan napupunta.
kapal naman ng management kung makikihati pa sila...

service charges are covered by the omnibus rules implementing the labor code. book III, rule vi, section 3 of the said IRR states:

"Distribution of service charges. — All service charges collected by covered employers shall be distributed at the rate of 85% for the employees and 15% for the management. The 85% shall be distributed equally among the covered employees. The 15% shall be for the disposition by management to answer for losses and breakages and distribution to managerial employees at the discretion of the management in the latter case."

this legal provision mandates that employers not only account for the service charges collected but to also make sure that the proper amount is distributed to the employees.

if the employees feel that they did not get their corresponding percentage share, then they can actually file a complaint on non payment of service charges
