Tip jar depends on the event, you simply ask the host before booking the party, and have a suitable alternative for gratuity if the host says no to a tip jar. You MUST work for yourself. You can charge $30-50 an hour PLUS tips! NEVER, EVER, EVER work for a catering company...unless it is to get your feet wet and get comfortable with how the business works...but don't do it long term!!! Hey Denise!

I'm going to try decorating the tip jar. I'm bartending a Halloween party with another bartender I know through our staffing agency. Can you recommend any ideas for a theme costume for 2? Any advice would be apprecited, thanks. Brenda Hi James,

I have a question for you. I recently signed up with a catering company . I wanted to get some experience on that side of the business. My question is, is it normal practice for the bartender not to have a tip jar? Does it depend on the function itself? I did my first event and I was a little disappointed. I worked what would have been a normal neigborhood bar shift-- but i did 10X more work. At the end of the day I only made $96.00 that is what the caterer paid @ 12hr. If I would have been able to collect tips it would have been at least a $300.00 night easily. I quess if the no tips is the case.. I will change my mind set as use this opportunity to gain experience and networking. Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks Hello, the halloween tips were good. I have a question for you.
