I work at a sports bar, locally owned by a childhood friend of my mothers

I'm just wondering, how common is it to have a 1 man kitchen? Other then during parties or home football games, I'm the only one in the kitchen. To cook, clean, wait tables, and even help up at the bar. It gets insane sometimes, like last night 6 tables showed up in 20 minutes, one of them being a 12 person table. I literally sprint around haha anyone else have to deal w/ something similar?

10 an hour + tips, started out at minimum wage 4 1/2 years ago. I'm the only person I know of my age to hold the same job for so long haha

Tips depend on a few things, if their regulars I've literally gotten 20$ tips for making an order of fries or something small but that's not an everyday thing.

Surprisingly, all the young NFL players I serve (I can literally throw a football from my bar into the Bills stadium parking lot) BARELY tip. Its pathetic really, IDC about a few extra bucks but when a garbage man who lives in a trailer park tips you more then an NFL player, it really, really pisses you off. All the coaches I've served over the years tip aabove average, funny little thing is the offensive or defensive line coach is a "small person" ( I don't want to be mean and use the word midget lol )

garbage men make a decent enough living too. you should start watering down their drinks as well. that'll teach em

the paradigm almost shifted
 
I've run a couple pizzerias and some of those had dining rooms. so I've experienced that of which you speak, on nights where things went good and nights they went bad.
you staff for the business you think you'll have. sometimes your wrong. if it happens often I'd talk to whoever makes the schedule. bad service and iffy food won't do anyone any good and pretty soon you won't need another person because there won't be any customers.
