No Tips, No Trouble – Restaurant Pays Employees $15/hr+
There’s no doubt the food service industry is changing. Most restaurants and bars are integrating modern technology in every aspect of the business, but some are going the extra mile and changing their business models entirely. They’re doing things far differently than tradition dictates, and the results are promising.
A restaurant recently opened in Philadelphia called William Street Common. Owned by Avram Hornik, it’s meant to be a sort of “indoor beer garden” where guests sit at communal tables and enjoy good food and craft beer. He pays every employee at least $15/hour and offers health insurance and paid sick leave, and does not require customers to tip.
Hornik wasn’t a fan of the traditional business model and cited concerns over tipping practices as his reasoning. Instead, a 20 percent service charge is added in to the price of all beers which he sells for an even $6, and that extra money is distributed to the employees.
William Street Common isn’t the only restaurant that has changed the tipping game. Several others across the country are adopting the model and they’re seeing some huge benefits such as an increase in customers, lower employee turnover, and happier and harder working staff. It’s worth considering!
