Tip rules you mentioned are not only done at Fogo De Chao. It is done to almost all restaurants especially here in California. I actually prefer tips because given directly to the server you interact with.
The owners are not Christian and could care less about Christmas. You know what you are getting into when you start there. If Christmas is important then don't work there. Also Arri and Jair, the founders of the restaurant could care less about Christmas @@Uknown76
Pretty much every single point brought up in this video is true, I have worked at Fogo the past seven months and it is not worth the money. People take advantage of the tip pool, and those who stay typically steal from said tip pool. The only real saving grace is the free food which gets old after 2-3 months.
One of my favorite favorite restaurants is Fogo, no no way that has ever put a napkin in my lap but they have been exquisitely professional and very kind!! And thank you for the information on the tip as the four of us tipped our waiter $100.. we had no idea that the bartenders the cooks and everybody else will be weighing in on it 😔😔
I remind people wait staff work for a much lower minimum wage. sharing their tips is really not fair unless the wait staff is also paid minimum wage. The restaurant is using the wait staff tips to subsidize other workers. I think the minimum for wait staff is 2 dollars an hour.
Never been there but if you're a carnivore this place looks awesome...PS I used to have a little trick if a meal was extra great I'd pass a $5 or $10 to the server during the meal & tell them to take it to the cook who made the dish...."chef's tip". You get better service always after that too
This was the norm at every food place btw, the free meal. I used to work as a young man at one place and before serving the guests we had a free meal, no scraps.
I agree. If you have a really good server the tipping you give shows your appreciation. If they have to split it with servers not so good that would piss me off. Maybe that's why they have a big turnover
@@Uknown76 here in the USA the minimum wage is a lot less for wait staff because they get tips. Bartenders and cooks are on a different pay scale. They could be tipped but that is not how they are paid. More and more restaurants are being sued and fined by the government for this.
In this video I have never had anyone put a napkin on my lap and usually at the end of a shift the FOH staff split the tips that's norm for the industry and never shared with the kitchen that's just plain BS never in my 52 year's working in the kitchen have I ever received anything because we in the kitchen make more money because the FOH staff work on minimum wage so they depend on there tips TO INSURE PROPER SERVICE as I went to Culinary school and we were tested on every class and I graduated with a 89 GPA but honor roll was very hard and forget about DEANS LIST.or graduating 1st in your class but I did very good for myself and I am very proud of what I have done in my life because in NYC there is a lot of competition among CHEFS but mine was to do my best job and have made the state of HAWAII very proud like the ARMY and the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and some people like to talk CRAP and I don't care mine is to take of my family no more no less as a MAN AND A FATHER
Hmmm…. This placed is PACKED on holidays. And I’m sure those tips are GENEROUS. I tipped $40 at the valet and almost $100 on the tab. And Valet was mandatory. If I was a young person, I’d FaceTime the whole family and go to work
I worked for a restaurant that did the tip splitting. Im certain the owners did that so they could get away with paying the kitchen staff the absolute minimum. It bothered me so much i just began stealing my own tips and not turning them all in at the end of the night. I never kept 20s because i felt like those were usually honesty tests. But i kept smaller bills.
Cool, so you screwed your kitchen staff over without finding out what they were paid to justify it… but more likely you’re just a dick head since this doesn’t do a thing to change the owners paying their staff better, it’s just you stealing your coworkers cut of money as was agreed by the entire team when getting hired.
I definitely consider the food when I tip. Actually more so than the server often… half the time I ask for the bill then they just walk away and don’t come back or they pester the table etc. I’m there for the food. I hate the tipping culture of North America because it’s bullshit the owners don’t have to pay their wages and I do for some reason, and I have no idea how that tip is being handled. I can’t say I want the kitchen to have it or the server, it’s just arbitrary. If it’s going to be arbitrary, they the owners of the restaurant should be paying it and I will just pay more for going to a restaurant if that’s what it takes.
Chefs are the Kitchen Commanders: they do not deserve tips, but a salary commensurate with their skills and mastery of their craft. Tips are for the crew, period. The dishwashers are a key component of the restaurant operation. Do they share in the tips? Executive chefs in a medium-level operation are good for at least 80k/yr. Give me a break.
the tip pooling in the most dumbest thing there is imagine being already paid barely enough to sustain yourself and having to share them equally with people what is this soviet russia unfortunately this is also a thing in europe and in my country but the servers are paid much better so there's that
Is anyone forced to work there? I don’t want to watch your videos anymore!!! What is the hit job for? Did the president of the company not tweet that they hate Trump? Ha ha ha
Would any of these rules make you not want to work there?

as someone who worked at fogo, i don’t recommend anyone working there tbh. it’s misleading and the managers abused us.
Makes sense I hope those clowns learn I mean really being open on Christmas and making it mandatory is unacceptable

The tipping is the only issue I'd have.

I agree with the tipping, because I'll imagine the attractive women will get tipped more than most people, even though they will do less work.
@@arific if you're ugly just say that
If you dont like working for an establishment that will make you work on holidays, you have a choice to not work there.
Ease off licking boots leather
In most states the tip thing is becoming more and more illegal.
As it should be those greedy bastards have the nerve to call this fine dining but they can't pay employees shame on em

Another rule: Don't feed the produce delivery person, even after delivering 150 cases by themselves.

They do get them though
Its so the owners can get away with paying them less. Theyre paying them directly with server's tips.
Yall atleast get OT on holidays?

The quality of the meat must be terrible
It’s actually quite good in the locations I have been to.
They're quality use to be great, however the restaurant has expanded & they're quality has dropped. Still better than most.
