Etiquette

One guide to courtesy suggests that bussers should not talk or bother those who are served, and just fill glasses on the table rather than ask if the customer wants more water. Likewise, he advises customers not to involve bussers and wait staff in disturbing conversations, as they are often busy. Business etiquette guidelines show that customers should refer to bussers and wait staff with gender neutral terms busser and servers rather than waiter or busboy . He also said that bussers are employees who should be notified if items such as water glasses or a piece of cutlery are lost.

Tip earnings

Bussers do not traditionally lead directly in the United States, but restaurants can use the "tip pooling" or "tip sharing" setting, in which some of the server tip is shared with other restaurant service staff.

In the United States, sharing tips may be voluntary, in which the waiter gives some of their tips to coworkers they deem appropriate, or mandatory, in which employers specify a formula by which tips should be shared with co-workers such as bussers and bartenders. Federal Department of Labor regulations do not allow restaurants to include managers in sharing tips, and the inclusion of "back home" employees such as dishwashers and cooks has been the subject of legal disputes since 2009. Tipping recipients at joint tip restaurants may pay "tip-credit salary" below the usual minimum wage in the United States, if the number of joint tips in the payout period brings their average wage to the minimum wage. The federal minimum wage is set at $ 2.13 per hour, although state and local laws may require higher rates. California, for example, requires that employees end up paid at full minimum wage.

A spokeswoman for restaurant operator Darden Restaurants, who incorporated tip-sharing in 2011 at Olive Garden and their Red Lobster chain, said it was more consistent and fair "to recognize everyone who provided the guest experience", noting that the more clock base Low wages for bartenders and bussers offer "opportunities to earn more" depending on the volume of restaurant tips.
