The Palm
Usual $100.00 per person @ 15% tip or a 4 person table that's $60.00 per
table per check.
At 6 tables per waiter that is 360.00 per table per night times 3 turns per
night that's $1080. per night
At 5 nights (Ok call it 4 nights) that's $4,320.00 per week
Which translates to $216,000.00 per year.

Call me 1/2 right that's over 100,000 per year.

The problem came when the Palm started taking credit cards. Until then the
waiters could sandbag 1/2 their income as untaxable because it couldn't be
traced directly.
