I dont mean to get way off topic. The way we compensate people in restaurants are wrong. No one is coming to the restuarant for the waiter. When the waiter leaves, we do not follow him to his next restaurant.
The waiter staff should be compensated for a fair salary and the chef should be paid below minimum wage and get the tips depending on how good the food is.
I dont know why anyone would want to be a chef, when in some upscale places, the waiters can earn much more. I would imagine the chef has the greater skill.
