Preface

This bulletin summarizes the results of a Bureau of Labor Statistics survey of
employer-paid wages and customer tips for selected occupational groups in eating and
drinking places and year-round hotels and motels covered by the Fair Labor Standards
Act.
The survey was made in March 1970 at the request of the U.S. Department of Labor’s
Employment Standards Administration (formerly Workplace Standards Administration)
to provide information for a report required under Section 4 (d) of the Fair Labor Stand­
ard’s Act. The report of the Employment Standards Administration, submitted to Con­
gress by the Secretary of Labor, analyzes the impact of the tip allowance provided for
under the act.
The study was conducted in the Bureau’s Office of Wages and Industrial Relations.
The analysis in this bulletin was prepared by Charles M. O’Connor in the Division of
Occupational Wage Structures. Field work for the survey was directed by the Bureau’s
Assistant Regional Directors for Operations.
Bulletins available from the Bureau’s program of industry wage studies, as well as the
addresses of the Bureau’s regional offices, are listed at the end of this bulletin.

W a g e s and T ip s in Restaurants and H otels, M arch 1 9 7 0
series. Nine out of 10 workers in both types of establish­
ments surveyed were nonsupervisory personnel.
Geographically, the pattern of distribution for non­
supervisory employees in the restaurants covered by the
survey differed somewhat from the pattern for hotels.
As indicated in the following tabulation, for example,
the Northeast and North Central regions each accounted
for about three-tenths of the nonsupervisory workers
in restaurants, compared with slightly more than onefifth each in hotels:

Summary

Customer tips contributed substantially to the earn­
ings of some restaurant and hotel employees in March
1970, particularly those paid comparatively low wages
by employers. Waiters, waitresses, and bellmen, covered
by the BLS survey,1 typically received more in tips than
in wages, but the opposite was true for bartenders,busboys, bus girls, and chambermaids.
Table waiters and waitresses, numerically the largest
of the occupational groups studied, averaged the lowest
employer-paid wages and the highest customer tips. In
restaurants, their wages averaged $1.14 an hour; their
tips, $1.80. In hotel eating facilities, the corresponding
averages were $1.12 and $1.74 an hour. Table waitresses
in restaurants and hotels, averaged less than waiters in
both wages and tips.
Bellmen, also a highly tipped group, averaged $1.18
an hour in wages and $ 1.23 an hour in tips. Chamber­
maids averaged $1.67 an hour in wages, but seldom
received tips.
In both restaurants and hotels, occupational wage
levels were usually highest in the West and lowest in the
South. Average hourly tips for the occupations studied,
on the other hand, were usually highest in the Northeast
and lowest in the North Central States.
Approximately three-fifths of the restaurant em­
ployees and slightly less than two-fifths of the hotel
employees in the surveyed occupations received wages
below $1.45 an hour— the Federal minimum for nontipped employees in these establishments at the time of
the study. The proportions indicate the employers
frequently used allowances for tips and meals that are
permitted under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)
in meeting the minimum wage requirements.2

Metropolitan areas 4 accounted for seven-eighths of
the nonsupervisory work force in the restaurants and
about four-fifths in the hotels. The proportions of
restaurant workers in metropolitan areas ranged from
85 percent in the North Central region to 92 percent
in the West. Corresponding proportions were slightly
smaller in hotels.
The occupations for which the survey developed in­
formation on employer paid wages and customer tips
were bartenders, bellmen, busboys (or bus girls),
chambermaids, and waiters and waitresses. As indicated
1 The survey covered five occupational categories in restau­
rants and year-round hotels which had gross annual receipts of
$250,000 or more, that is, establishments whose employees are
covered by the minimum wage standards of the Fair Labor
Standards-Act (FLSA). For a more detailed definition of the
survey, see appendix A.
2 Effective Feb. 1, 1971, the applicable Federal minimum
wage was raised to $1.60 an hour. The law permits tips (up to
50 percent of the miminum wage) and the reasonable cost of
board and lodging to be credited against the minumum wage.
For ease of reading, eating and drinking places will be
referred to as restaurants and year-round hotels, motels, and
tourist courts will be referred to as hotels in the text and tab­
ulations of this report. Hotels classified as “Year-round” hotels
operate 9 months or more a year.

Work force characteristics

The survey was limited to eating and drinking places
and year-round hotels and motels covered by the
(FLSA) that is, such establishments having gross annual
revenues of $250,000 or more.3 Establishments covered
by the survey accounted for 36 percent of the 2,384,700
employees in restaurants in March 1970, and 65 percent
of the 654,100 employees in hotels in March 1970, re­
ported in the BLS monthly employment and earnings

in the following tabulation, these occupations accounted
for 46 percent of the nonsupervisory workers in the
restaurants covered by the survey and 42 percent of the
work force in the hotels:

In some of these occupations, the proportions of tipped
employees were substantially greater for one sex than
for the other. For example, three-fifths of the busboys
in full-course restaurants were tipped employees, com­
pared with about three-tenths of the bus girls. For
counter waiters and waitresses in restaurants, approxi­
mately one-eighth of the men were tipped employees,
compared with slightly more than one-half of the
women.

Wage and tip averages

Table waiters and waitresses in restaurants (excluding
those in hotels) averaged $1.14 an hour in employerpaid wages and $1.80 an hour in tips.6 Although average
wages of table waiters and waitresses were about the
same in full-course as in other type restaurants ($1.14
and $1.16), tips averaged substantially more in fullcourse restaurants— $1.93 an hour, compared with
$1.36. (See table 3.) Wages of table waiters and
waitresses in hotels averaged $1.12 an hour in both fullcourse and other than full-course eating facilities; their
tips averaged $1.76 and $1.51 an hour, respectively. (See
table 5.)
For counter waiters and waitresses, wages averaged
$1.50 an hour in restaurants and $1.28 in hotels; cor­
responding tip averages were 44 cents and $1.07. As
indicated previously, nearly all counter waiters and
waitresses in hotels were tipped employees; in restau­
rants, the proportion was approximately two-fifths.
Waitresses outnumbered waiters by about 4 Vi to 1 in
the survey. They usually averaged less than waiters
in wages and tips, but the differences were typically
greater for tips. (See tables 21-38.) Table waiters in
full-course restaurants, for example, averaged 13 cents
an hour more in wages and 84 cents an hour more in
tips than table waitresses. In similar facilities operated
by hotels, the corresponding differences were 7 cents
and 81 cents an hour. Differences in customer attitudes
about tipping waiters and waitresses and differences in
the types of facilities in which they are employed con­
tribute to large tip averages for waiters. Restaurant

The nationwide proportions of workers in these jobs
were generally similar to those found in each region.
(See appendix A tables 1 and 2 for employment counts
by region and size of community.) In the restaurant seg­
ment of the survey, women made up four-fifths of the
workers in the waiter and waitress category, one-sixth of
the busboys and bus girls, and about one-tenth of the
bartenders. In hotels, the corresponding proportions
were four-fifths, one-tenth, and one sixth. Virtually
all of the chambermaids were women; the bellhops were
nearly always men.
Nearly seven-tenths of all workers in the occupations
surveyed (377,900 employees) were classified as tipped
employees. 5 In restaurants, the proportion of tipped
employees was nearly four-fifths, nationally, and ranged
from about three-fourths in the South and North
Central States to slightly more than four-fifths in the
Northeast. In hotels, the proportion of tipped employees
in the surveyed occupations, amounted to nearly threefifths and ranged from approximately one-half in the

South and North Central States to nearly two-thirds
in the West. The substantially smaller proportions of
tipped employees in hotels than in restaurants were
due primarily to the relative importance of chamber­
maids in hotels who were seldom, tipped. As indicated
in the following tabulation the percent of bartenders,
busboys, and waiters and waitresses classified as tipped
employees was higher in hotels than in restaurants.

5 Those customarily and regularly receiving more than $20
a month in tips. Compulsory service charges added to bills of
customers served in regular restaurant facilities of an establish­
ment were not considered tips. Earlier BLS surveys showed that
such charges were rarely found. (See BLS Bulletins 1587 and
1588). For a more complete definition of tipped employees, see
app|ndix A.
Average tips in this section of the report relate to all em­
ployees in each occupation, not only to tipped employees as in
the section on tip distributions. Also, tip averages presented in
the Employment Standards Administration’s report on the
survey relate only to tipped employees. See Cash Wages and
Value o f Tips o f Tipped Employees in Eating and Drinking
Places and Hotels and Motels (U.S. Department of Labor, 1971).

facilities with relatively high meal prices and tipping
patterns probably employed a greater proportion of the
waiters than of the waitresses.

these two regions averaged about 35 cents an hour. Wage
and tip averages for public and service bartenders in
hotels also varied widely by region. (See table 6.)
Bellmen’s wages averaged $1.18 an hour, 5 cents less
than their tips. Only a few cents separated the average
wages and tips for bellmen in 3 of the 4 regions. In the
Northeast, bellmen’s tips averaged 31 cents an hour
more than thevr wages ($1.62 compared with $1.31).
Chambermaids, who were seldom tipped unless em­
ployed in resorts,7 averaged $ 1.67 an hour in employer
paid wages, but less than 5 cents an hour in tips. In the
Northeast, their wages averaged $1.94 an hour, com­
pared with $1.77 in the West, $1.60 in the North Cen­
tral, and $1.49 in the South. Of the occupational groups
studied in hotels, chambermaids were second only to
bartenders in average wages received. When total earn­
ings (wages plus tips) were compared, however, chamber­
maids usually had the lowest average.

Busboys and bus girls commonly obtain tips through
sharing arrangements with waiters and waitresses. They
averaged $1.54 an hour in employer paid wages and 12
cents in tips in other than full-course restaurants. Their
averages were $ 1.43 and 42 cents in full-course restau­
rants, similar to those recorded for busboys and bus
girls in both full-course and other eating facilities in
hotels. It should be noted that only one-fifth of the
busboys and bus girls in other than full-course restau­
rants were tipped employees, compared with nearly
three-fifths in full-course restaurants. In hotel facilities,
the corresponding proportions were slightly more than
three-fifths and two-thirds.
By region, tips for busboys and bus girls, as well as
for waiters and waitresses, usually averaged more in
Northeastern and Southern restaurants and hotels than
in those of the North Central and West. (See tables 4
and 6.) Average hourly wages of these employees, on the
other hand, were generally highest in the West and low­
est in the South. Interregional differences in average wages
and tips varied by occupation. For example, counter
waiters and waitresses in restaurants in the South and
North Central regions averaged about the same in wages
($1.42 and $1.44) and tips (28 and 26 cents). However,
table waiters and waitresses in the North Central region
averaged 29 cents an hour more in wages than their
counterparts in the South, but averaged 34 cents less
in tips.

Wage and tips distributions

In March 1970, approximately three-fifths of the
restaurant employees and slightly less than two-fifths
of the hotel employees in the occupations surveyed were
paid wages below $ 1.45 an hour— the Federal minimum
wage for nontipped employees in restaurants and hotels
covered by the FLSA. For tipped employees (those
customarily and regularly receiving more than $20 a
month in tips), employers may credit tips actually
received against the applicable minimum wage, up to 50
percent
cents at the time of the survey) of the
minimum wage. The cost, or fair value, of providing
meals and lodging may also be considered in meeting
the minimum wage requirements.8 The substantial
proportions of workers paid cash wages of less than
$1.45 an hour, 95 percent of whom were tipped em­
ployees, indicated that employers commonly used some
of the allowances for tips and other perquisites per­
mitted under the act.
Estimates of tips relate to establishment averages for
tipped workers in specified job categories.9 (See tables
7-38.) Establishment officials provided the information,

In both hotels and restaurants, bartenders were the
only group studied averaging more than $2 an hour in
wages. Tips averaged nearly $1 an hour for bartenders
employed at public bars, but dropped to less than half
that amount for those at service bars. The relatively low
level of average tips for service bartenders reflects the
absence of direct contact with customers. Service bar­
tenders prepare drinks for waiters and waitresses to
serve in the dining rooms of the establishment; con­
sequently, tips they receive depend upon sharing
arrangements with waiters and waitresses. In restau­
rants, one-third of the service bartenders were classi­
fied as tipped employees, compared with nearly fourfifths of the public bartenders. In hotels, the correspond­
ing proportions were one-half and four-fifths.

1966 and April 1967 (BLS Bulletin 1587, 1968), p. 1.

allowances permitted under the FLSA, see Cash Wages and Value
o f Tips o f Tipped Employees, op. cit.
9 BLS previously obtained estimates on tips (for bellmen
and waiters and waitresses in a number of large metropolitan
areas) in 1961, Industry Wage Survey: Hotels and Motels, June
1961 (BLS Bulletin 1328, 1962) and Industry Wage Survey:
Eating and Drinking Places, June 1961, (BLS Bulletin 1329,
1962). Since the 1961 surveys, hourly tips, as well as hourly
wages, for many workers in restaurants and hotels have risen
substantially. Upward adjustments in the Federal minimum wage
and increases in menu prices, as reported by the BLS Consumer
Price Index, have been contributing factors.

Wage levels of public bartenders in restaurants ranged
from $2.21 an hour in the South to $3.06 an hour in the
West, where tips averaged $1.25 and 96 cents an hour,
respectively. (See table 4.) For service bartenders in
restaurants, hourly wage levels were lowest in the North­
east ($2.53) and highest in the West ($3.12); tips in

the occupational groups and facilities involved. Account
was taken of tipping and nontipping customers, varia­
tions in tipping patterns among the different serving
locations (such as lunch counter, dining room, or bar),
as well as practices such as the sharing of tips with
other employees, including busboys, and service bar­
tenders. 10 Tip averages varied considerably within occu­
pations, but the degree of dispersion was less for
chambermaids than for the other groups studied. (See
text table.)
A comparison within occupations of establishment
average hourly tips and employer paid wages showed
mixed patterns. (See chart.) For busboys, an inverse
relationship (the higher the wage the lower the tip
average) was quite consistent. This relationship held to a
lesser extent for bellmen, but almost completely broke
down for table waiters and waitresses in full-course
restaurants.

Selected perquisites

Meal provisions. In restaurants, approximately fourfifths of the bartenders and waiters and waitresses and
nearly three-fourths of the busboys and bus girls were
given at least one meal a day. In hotels, about fourfifths of the bartenders and approximately seven-eighths
of the waiters and waitresses and busboys and bus girls
were given meals. However, only one-fourth of the bell­
men and nearly one-fifth of the chambermaids were pro­
vided meals. The percent of workers in each occupation
who received 1, 2, or 3 meals daily is indicated in the
tabulation on p. 5.
In both restaurants and hotels, the incidence of bar­
tenders, busboys and bus girls, and waiters and
waitresses receiving meals from their employers was

metropolitan areas. (See tables 39 and 40.) The pro­

two-fifths of the restaurant workers and nearly twothirds of the hotel workers. The incidence of furnishing,
or providing for the cleaning of uniforms, or both for
restaurant employees was considerably higher in the

the incidence varied little by region. Also, within each

A ppendix A. S c o p e and M ethod of S urvey
Scope of survey

The survey covered establishments which had annual
gross receipts of $250,000 or more and fell within the
following categories as defined in the 1967 edition of
the Standard Industrial Gassification Manual, prepared
by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (formerly
the U.S. Bureau of the Budget):
Eating places (SIC 5812). Establishments primarily

engaged in the retail sale of food and drinks for con­
sumption on the premises. Caterers and establish­
ments primarily engaged in selling box lunches are
included in this industry.
Drinking places (SIC 5813). Establishments primarily
engaged in the retail sale of drinks, such as beer, ale,
wine, liquor, and other alcoholic beverages for con­
sumption on the premises. The sale of food fre­
quently accounts for a substantial portion of the
receipts of these establishments.
Year-round hotels and m otels (part o f SIC 701).

Commercial establishments known to the public as
hotels, motels, motor-hotels, or tourist courts pri­
marily engaged in providing lodging or lodging and
meals to the general public and which are in opera­
tion 9 months or more a year.
Excluded from the survey were seasonal hotels and
motels, as well as separate auxiliary units, such as central
offices, commissaries, and warehouses.
The number of establishments and workers actually
studied by the Bureau, as well as the number estimated
to be within scope of the survey are shown in tables
A-l and A-2.
Method of study

Data were obtained by personal visits of Bureau
representatives under the direction of the Bureau’s
Assistant Regional Directors for Operations. The survey
was conducted on a sample basis. Establishments se­
lected for study were drawn from reporting units with a
total of 20 employees or more at the time of reference
of the universe data. Reporting units may consist of two
establishments or more of the same company in the
same county. Reporting units with at least 20 employees




49

at the time of reference of the universe data were con­
sidered to have annual gross receipts of $250,000 or
more. If, when visited, the annual gross receipts were
found to fall below this amount for an establishment
(a single physical location where business is transacted),
the establishment was dropped from the survey. To
obtain the desired degree of accuracy at minimum cost,
a greater proportion of large than of small establish­
ments was studied. In combining the data, however, all
establishments were given their appropriate weight so
that the estimates relate to all establishments within
scope of the survey, unless noted otherwise.

Regions

The regions used in this study are: N orth east —
Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New
Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Ver­
mont; S outh — Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, District of
Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mary­
land, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Vir­
ginia; N orth Central— Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas,
Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota,
Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin; and West— Arizona,
California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New
Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.
Alaska and Hawaii were not included in the study.

Size of community

Tabulations by size of community pertain to metro­
politan and nonmetropolitan areas. The term “metro­
politan area,” as used in this bulletin, refers to the
Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas as defined by
the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (formerly
U.S. Bureau of the Budget) through January 1968.
Except in New England, a Standard Metropolitan
Statistical Area is defined as a county or group of con­
tiguous counties which contains at least one city of
50,000 inhabitants or more. Counties contiguous to the
one containing such a city are included in a Standard
Metropolitan Statistical Area, if, according to certain
criteria, they are essentially metropolitan in character

and are socially and economically integrated with
the central city. In New England, the city and town
are administratively more important than the county,
and they are the units used in defining Standard Metro­
politan Statistical Areas for that region.

Tipped employees

For purposes of this survey, tipped employees were
workers who usually received tips in excess of $20 a
month. In determining this, arrangements for sharing
tips with other employees were taken into account, and
only tips retained by the individual were considered.
Payments which were not considered tips included
(1) compulsory service charges which are distributed to
employees, and (2) amounts distributed to employees
by employers providing banquet facilities where the
amount paid by the customer is set in negotiations with
the employer.

Establishment definition

For purposes of this study, an establishment is de­
fined as a single physical location where business is
transacted. An establishment is not necessarily identical
with the company, which may consist of one or more
establishments.

Occupations selected for study

Full-course restaurant

Occupational classification was based on a uniform
set of job descriptions designed to take account of inter­
establishment and interarea variations in duties within
the same job. (See appendix B.) Occupational data were
limited to workers employed on a regular basis, even
though their regular hours of work may have been less
than those of others performing the same type of work
in the establishment. Working supervisors, apprentices,
learners, beginners, trainees, and handicapped, tempo­
rary, and probationary workers were not reported in the
data for selected occupations.

A full-course restaurant is defined as a dining facility
where full-course meals are available for at least the mid­
day or evening meal and the major portion of sales from
food and drink is derived from table service, as opposed
to counter service. Thus, coffee shops serving only short
orders were not considered full-course restaurants, even
though the majority of sales is derived from table service.
Similarly, cocktail lounges, night clubs, or supper clubs
serving only drinks, or short orders or both were not
considered as full-course restaurants.
Annual receipts

Wage data

Annual volume of establishment sales was based on
gross income from all sources. Receipts for establish­
ments in business less than 1 year were projected to
arrive at an annual figure. Tax^s collected separately
(e.g., sales tax) or money collected for and returned
to others, such as the sale of theater or athletic
tickets, were excluded.

Information on wages relates to straight-time wages,
excluding premium pay for overtime and for work on
weekends, holidays, and late shifts; also excluded are tips
and the value of free rooms, meals, and uniforms for em­
ployees receiving such perquisites, and nonproduction
bonus payments, such as Christmas and yearend bonuses.
Cost-of-living bonuses and service charges added to the
customer’s bill and distributed by the employer to his
employees were included as part of the employee’s
regular pay.

Employment

The estimates of the number of workers within
scope of the study are intended as a general guide to the
size and composition of the labor force included in
the survey. The advance planning necessary to make a
wage survey requires the use of lists of establishments
assembled considerably in advance of the payroll period
studied.

Customer tips

Estimates on customer tips refer to establishment
averages for tipped workers in specified job categories.

These estimates were obtained from information pro­
vided by establishment officials, usually after determin­
ing the tipping pattern for the occupational groups and
facilities involved. In this process, account was taken
of tipping and nontipping customers, variations in tipping
patterns among the different serving locations (e.g.,
lunch counter, dining room, or bar), as well as such
informal practices as the sharing of tips with other em­
ployees, including bus boys and bartenders working at
service bars.

Nonsupervisory employees

The term “nonsupervisory employees” includes work­
ing supervisors and all nonsupervisory employees engaged
in office and nonoffice functions. Administrative, execu­
tive, professional, technical, and force-account construc­
tion employees who are utilized as a separate work force
on a firm’s own properties, are excluded.




51

One of the common procedures used to obtain esti­
mates of average hourly tips for the various waiter and
waitress categories was to (1) multiply the appropriate
weekly receipts from the sale of food and drinks by the
employer’s estimate of the average percent tip per
customer bill, (2) sum these products, and (3) divide by
the total weekly hours worked by all employees in the
specific job category. Similar procedures were used
to derive average hourly tip estimates for bartenders,
by using weekly bar receipts; for bellmen, by obtaining
the number of guests accompanied to and from their
rooms and the number of room service requests during a
week; and for chambermaids, by the number of guests
checking out in a week. The tips for busboys and bar­
tenders at service bars were frequently determined in
relation to those of the waiters and waitresses with
whom they worked.




Meal provisions

Information relates to the number of daily meals pro­
vided to employees in the selected occupations.
Cost of employee meals

Data relate to an employer’s cost of providing meals
to nonsupervisory employees, expressed as a percent of
receipts from the sale of food and drink. The cost of
providing meals to employees at reduced prices was
excluded.
Uniform allowances

Data relate to establishment provisions for uniforms,
or laundering of uniforms, or monetary allowances in
lieu of such provisions, for a majority of employees who
are required to wear uniforms in the occupations
surveyed.

The primary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau’s wage survey is to
assist its field staff in classifying into appropriate occupations workers who are em­
ployed under a variety of payroll titles and different work arrangements from estab­
lishment to establishment and from area to area. This permits the grouping of occupa­
tional wage rates representing comparable job content. Because of this emphasis on
interestablishment and interarea comparability of occupational content, the Bureau’s
job descriptions may differ significantly from those in use in individual establishments
or those prepared for other purposes. In applying these job descriptions, the Bureau’s
field economists are instructed to exclude working supervisors; apprentices; learners;
beginners; trainees; handicapped, temporary, and probationary workers.

Bartender

Busboy or bus girl

Mixes and serves alcoholic drinks, proportioning in­
gredients according to formulas. May collect money due
for drinks. Orders supplies. Replaces empty beer kegs
with full ones. Washes glasses, bar and equipment. Ar­
ranges bottled goods and glasses about bar to make
attractive display.
For purposes of this study, bartenders are to be
classified according to whether they are primarily pre­
paring drinks for waiters and waitresses to serve in
guestrooms or various dining rooms (service bars) or to
be served directly to customers (public bars), as follows:

Performs such tasks as taking away courses and
dirty dishes to kitchen, replacing soiled table linen
with clean linen, replenishing butter supply of guests,
filling water bottles and glasses, and bringing clean
silverware to dining room. May sweep and clean dining
room, dusting furniture and fixtures. May perform
other tasks such as washing dishes, setting tables,
cleaning and polishing silverware, and preparing coffee.
For wage survey purposes, busboys or girls are to be
classified according to their predominant place of
service, as follows:
Busboys and girls, full-course restaurants
Busboys and girls, other than full-course
restaurants

Bartenders, public bars
Bartenders, service bars
Bellman

53

May set table (or counter) with linen and silverware
and take payment from patron. This classification in­
cludes workers serving tables and counters (including
those engaged in counter service in carry-out restau­
rants), as well as other waiters and waitresses, such as
car waiters, tray waiters in cafeterias, and room service
waiters. Only regular waiters or waitresses are to be
included. Exclude extra meal waiters, banquet waiters,
captains, and head waiters; workers serving food to
customers in a cafeteria line (counter attendants);
and workers whose primary duties are cooking quickly
prepared foods, such as sandwiches, steaks, chops,




cutlets, and eggs, even though they also serve the food.
For wage survey purposes, waiters and waitresses
are to be classified according to their predominant place
of service, as follows:
Waiters and waitresses, counter
Waiters and waitresses, table, full-course
restaurants
Waiters and waitresses, table, other than
full-course restaurants
Waiters and waitresses, other (including tray,
