How much would i expect working as a bus boy?
Im 16. I now work at KFC for $7.95 an hour (Ohio minimum wage). I was interested in a job as a bus boy at a restaurant that each dish is no less than $11, and they are pretty busy everynight, especially on weekends. Would this be a good paying job because of the expensiveness (sorry if thats not a word) of all of the food? How do bus boys get their money? I really just need enlightened on the whole thing. Plus, would it be better to work as a bus boy at that restaurant rather than work at KFC? Thank you!

I worked as a busboy (although the position also has me doing dishes, which i stayed at after the newbies took the busing position) in a restaurant in SC
The minimum wage was $7.25 back then. Unlike waiters/waitresses, busboys (at least in my restaurant I worked at) do not rely on tips for their pay. You get paid however much it is per hour. I don't really understand your $11 a dish thing, is that for tips? Because tips don't go to you, it goes to the server.
Busboys just clean stuff in the back, and do the dishes. As for which one is better, it really depends. Busboy has no contact with clients, other than them asking you where the toilets are or minor stuff. That's a good/bad thing depending on what you prefer.
It really depends on the pay, the hours, the benefits. You can't really know until you get there, but the people working there will definitely affect how much you want to stay or leave.
I work at McDonald's now. I like it better because I get to talk to cute girls all the time. Back as a busboy, and especially dishwasher you do not have a lot of company.

I went from working at a fast food place to an actual restaurant and it's one of the best decisions of made. I'm a hostess though so it's different than a bus boy. All restaurants are different when it comes to paying. Bus boys usually only get about $3 an hour because they get tips each night.
