Depends on what you do there. Are you a cook?? Bus dog?? Dish Pig?? Server?? Host(ess)??
Also depends on the city, owners, location in the city. I worked at a ****** Denny's, there were 2 others in the city and this one was the least busy, the other 2 were in tourist areas. Their prices were higher, they were busier, and I don't think that the things like property taxes were much higher, food costs were the same because we all got our stuf fromthe same places, but those ones paid more than the joint I worked at because the prices were higher, but they were also busier and made more profit. Also depends on experience at what you do. A couple of our cooks got paid more than one of the supervisors. Servers that had been there 10 years were only making minimum wage or slightly more. But with their tips they probably made more than most of the cooks, who are the highest paid in the place besides the managers themselves. The last time I worked there, most of the cooks were making around 11bucks an hour, but there were a couple that probably made 15-16 an hour.
It depends on what you do there and lots of other crap.
