> Your staff, the waiters the bus boys will feel like owners through tipping. If they do a shitty job they don't get paid, it doesn't get more capitalistic than that. It's the the same thing that motivates employees of startups that have equity.

So... why not have startup devs get tips?

Or... wait... why not do actual profit-sharing at restaurants? Give monthly or quarterly bonuses based on profit-sharing calculations.

I sometimes get amazing service at mcdonalds/fastfood places. Had a few phenomenal experiences at a local wendy's last year. The service level has far more to do with the actual people involved vs whether they're tipped or not.

I worked in fast food and our service was exceptional! It was because the place was run like a well oiled machine.

It had to do with the owners, who were very process oriented and educated people. Plus they really cared. Management was, in turn, very good. All the managers there when I was there had been there over a decade so they probably were paid well. The managers, of course, managed their staff well. It really was a nice place to work.
