It’s really just a second job so I don’t want to pay taxes period.
why no hole in the wall or mom & pop? I’m not expecting to get a bunch of $$ just a second income.
i practically grew up in dive bars so I’m kinda used to the clientele.
Well, your going to pay taxes on your credit tips. There's no way around it. There's no loop hole nor is anybody gonna pay you your credit tips under the table without the entire store being audited.
Dive bars are for suckers. Your going to deal with the same pieces of shit every weekend who think they're entitled over you.
YOU are there to make money. Not babysit drunks. Any shift your doing sidework and having to deal with coworkers and guests. Make as much money as you can because your putting up with the same shit.
Dive bar Friday night- 75 to 100 bucks
Franchise restaurant- 150 to 300 bucks
Club- 500 to 1k or a set tipshare which will be minimum 500
Granted, the interaction is alot more frequent at a club and you gotta always be moving, but you will bank.
And do not go to some mixology school. No bar is going to take that seriously because they are going to train you the way they want you to be.
Bartendering is a fucking hustle. Ain't too many really good bartenders any more but if you put in the work you can call your shots and work at the best places.
you encouraging people to talk about their experience is appreciated
