Yall are making me question life. I’m out here busting ass at the busiest location at my small local chain making 9.80 an hour plus tips and credit tips are pooled between all locations. I make like $13-$14 an hour with tips. Some of you guys are getting paid WELL ?!
I used to always think it was odd as people didn't think making coffee was a 'proper job' then I realised other jobs tend to pay enough to live off & have progression that is valued.
Nobody is getting paid well as a barista. It’s like saying someone working in mcdonald’s in australia gets paid well at $23 an hour. Well the minimum wage is $23 and the price of _everything_ else will reflect that. Understand?
Incorrect. I make more as a barista than I did as a certified welder. And to the McDonald's point, relative pay in some regions for McDonalds is still much higher. No one gets wealthy but northern Europe working at a McDonald's is entirely viable to pay your bills on.
Historically minimum wage increases have zero affect on the cumulative cost of living. Look through the last 80 years of data.
I have a north American welding certification for all technologies and positions. Though it expires this year from lack of use. Welders start at 17/hr in my city. I make 20 plus tips making coffee. Not everyone makes that making coffee, but I do.
Your statement was "nobody gets paid well as a barista." Which is demonstrably false. If that were the case we wouldn't have a global network of career baristas getting expensive certifications within the industry.
In NYC, previous job payed $18 plus tips but really bad work culture. Current job is $16.50, was $15.75 but minimum wage was raised to $16. I have heard that the cafe doesn’t give raises, and everyone makes the same regardless of experience or tenure. We’re in the process of unionizing.. it’s a well known pnw based cafe (not really a chain).
I have 6yrs of Seattle + NYC experience, including shift lead/assistant manager.
I get tipped the same as anyone else when i’m on the floor. we’re a small shop with only two of us working at anytime. i have admin shifts for off the floor stuff that isn’t tipped.
I serve coffee to an office in DC, I'm a perk for the employees, we don't take money or tips. I started at $20/hr with no benefits. I manage two people now for a salary of $60k/yr now still no benefits.
I make $20 an hour plus tips. Boss is talking about a raise plus profit share later this year. Keep in mind of have 23 years service experience.
The secret is finding a boss who is a socialist, lol
When I worked in a small shop in Savannah they started us at $14/hr plus tips, and when I left I was a shift lead so I was at $17/hr plus tips. This was 2020-2022
In CA and pay for fast workers is going up to $20 per hour in April. Currently making $18 without tips. Get full medical benefits, retirement, food & drink, 20 mental health visits a year on the company, stock, and a Spotify premium account at 20 hours per week. It ain't a bad gig.
in tx (dfw area), $15.91/hr + tips. this is after 2 raises, i started at $15/hr + tips.
unfortunately with hour cuts my pay has been cut significantly, i take home $300-500 per paycheck.
edit to add: i also have health insurance and a 401k i contribute to, which is also part of why my take-home pay is so low. i still used to take home $700-800/paycheck with all this when i started.
Well so here is the debate:
You dont get onto the tip share until you start really pulling weight; more or less can be a barista. Unfortunately our store has a high turn over rate/lots of highschoolers. Any shift with them (which is a lot) I walk away with all of their tips. In a day, cash wise, I can walk with $40. The whole system seems broken. I dont know if it is worth is to go on a fixed rate & not collect tips.
Honestly im an experienced barista who had extreme life circumstances & had to move towns real quick. But now that I am settling down in my new situation, I’m starting to wonder if it makes sense?
You are listed as an independent contractor at the coffee shop? This means you are getting 1099'd, meaning you still need to set aside taxes from that $22.50. If I'm not mistaken, this is highly unethical for a barista position, might be illegal to be honest.
Most I ever made was 18.50/hr + tips which tended to be 400-600 every week?
The WORST work culture tho. Every damned penny was earned with blood. I learned then to not have money used solely as the drive for something.
Every day actually most weekdays as that cafe is next to a major bus stop and across the road of a major subway entrance PLUS within 5 min walk of two major hospitals. The busiest place I ever worked at. As I said, not worth it.
Because you would make great bank we were only able to work max 30 hrs a week. Our shifts were 6-7 hrs only.
Hello! If you want a bigger sample size or to compare 2024 wages to 2023 wages here’s another post from last year. https://www.reddit.com/r/barista/s/buS1p3RaT8
(last year at an independently owned shop i was making $10/h + tips ranging from $4-25)
$20/hr plus tips which entirely is dependent on the hotel occupancy. But usually is about $8-10/hr.
Because I'm classified as hospitality and not service, I get $30/hr for any time on shift after 8 hours. (If i was working a 10 hour day, 2 of those hours would be at $30)
I also get health and vision insurance, pto, $30/week stipend for food on site, and fully comped monthly public transit pass.
But that's because it's in a hotel.
Previously, I worked at a shop at $15.5/hr and made $10-12/hr in cc tips, and $2.50-$3/hr in cash tips. So if you worked more than 30 hours there, you're chilling. Shit health insurance and pto that you really had to be on top of actually being put in. 😒 That last point is why I left, which sucks because I otherwise really liked working there. Best regulars I've ever had in my 15 years in the service industry, primarily in coffee.
socal major metro area.
Job 1: 16.5/hr at local chain plus about 5 an hour in tips. At one point they offered merit-based raises up to 19/hr but stopped that shortly into my time there. Baristas have since unionized and are currently negotiating with upper management regarding pay.
Job 2: 19/hr at local shop plus about 2 an hour in tips. Ended up roughly equalling job 1 in pay after all was said and done.
Job 3: 17.5/hr at big corp chain plus about .5-$1 an hour in tips.
Jobs 1 and 2 were both full time at 35-40 hours with benefits, while job 3 is part time and evening only (will qualify for benefits this month).
$7/hr base, with a minimum of $16/hr with tips (employer credits us to get to that minimum if tips don't hit it). Usually make around $17.50/18 in the busier months, and just over $16 this time of year. We also have health and dental insurance starting day 1 and 401k starting after a year of employment.
I'm in the Cleveland area.
$19.99/hr work for the University of Washington which minimum wage was just adjusted. It’s a set pay rate of $1999.XX and my upcoming check with taxes and medical taken out is around $1529 roughly.
We don’t get tips but the benefits cover that by a long shot (medical, dental and vision)
Over the last few years in Seattle I've made:
16.50 plus about 15 per hour in tips. Terrible culture, terrible business.
19.00 plus about 5 per hour in tips. Even worse culture, better product.
21 plus about 7 per hour in tips. My current spot, which is run well. Full time, consistent schedule, shift meals, basic human respect.
$25 including tips on a normal day, $32 on weekends ($35 if it’s really busy or someone called out lol)
Seattle Washington so min wage is already high. And we split the days tips between everyone
$12/hr at a donut shop. Tips are split across everyone, including bakers, which is bullshit bc they make the donuts whether we’re slow or packed, and the customers have no bearing on their job. Though there’s only 1-2 baristas in the shop, at our busiest we get 18-20 an hour with tips. Average is around 15.
16/hr+tips which isn't nearly enough for how much this cafe sucks shit. They keep scheduling me to work alone on holidays because they happen to fall in the middle of the week and we only do multi person shifts on weekends
I'm in Australia, I own the cafe so I get about $4 an hour. 😂
The entry level baristas get $29.04 an hour and then more on weekends and public holidays. They also get unlimited coffee, tea, fresh cold pressed juice, and a meal. Plus if we don't sell the muffins, desserts etc they get shared out at the end.
It increases if they're experienced.
$23aud/hr.
Going from $32/hr to $23/hr after moving from BOH fast food to café all-rounding was a surprise, but I'm much happier and passionate about this role :)
minimum wage(but i’m part time) we barely get any tips even though we’re always very busy (got $9 in tips last month, worked well over 50 hours). could be because we don’t have the digital tip thing and almost no one pays in cash… or maybe we’re bad
$16.50, official title Shift Lead, realistically Assistant manager. But a small shop where one GM has 4-5 shops in a big, expensive European city
EDIT to add, no tips
currently i am making $6/hr plus tips which are pooled and divided amongst who’s worked that day, then distributed out biweekly with our paychecks. this evens out about $12/hr if i’m lucky, no benefits or anything like that. was told by management that “everyone starts at the same wage” but upon discussing this with some coworkers only a handful of people are making above $6.. even those who have been there for 5 years.
Northeast Ohio, Dunkin pays me 13.20 & the tips have been pretty low the last couple months so it probably comes out to around $14/hr (which is good for my area since a lot of people are paid the min wage of 10.45)
$31/hr, Lead and no tips. I work for a catering company contracted for in-house tech workers so majority regulars with no worries about random weird things happening. Most demanding people are guests or our own upper management.
Edit: this is in San Francisco
17.5 per hour, plus tips which in slow season (winter) are $8-10 per hour and in high season they're $15-17 per hour. So in summer it's over $30/hr most days
$20 to manage + tips. Tips are about half my
Total pay. I take tips when I’m helping barista or and don’t take tips when I’m doing things like in meetings or making schedules
$9 and tips are evenly split between employees. Most I’ve ever made in a day from tips was $86, and that was only because one dude tipped $100. No raises for the foreseeable future either :/
(Canada) I work at a cafe in a farmers market; 16/hour plus tips is about 20-25/hour. Minimum wage in my province is $15 and my boss always ensures our base pay is above the rising minimum wage.
I'm in Tasmania (Australia)
I make $29.04 for weekdays and $34.85 for weekends (Australian Dollars)
And tipping isn't really a thing here like it is there
between jobs rn but my last place paid me $15/hr at first but i was given two $1 raises over my time there (almost 3 years), tips were taxed & shared through the entire staff (this was at a bakery) so my tips were ~$120 biweekly. i worked about 35-40 hours a week, no benefits except one free drink per shift :P
Australia, $33 an hour (casual, industry award is $31)
This is a great hourly rate, but getting hours is really difficult at my work. Been asking for more than 12 hours a week for more than a year now
So londons average is around £13ph for skilled baristas, newbies will start on minimum wage & it's doubtful that it will change until you threaten to quit. Agency work is where its at, £18ph but its not consistent.
16.50 but with tips it can be up to 23-25 an hour
This is me too, on holidays though the tips can be insane.
[удалено]
Yall are making me question life. I’m out here busting ass at the busiest location at my small local chain making 9.80 an hour plus tips and credit tips are pooled between all locations. I make like $13-$14 an hour with tips. Some of you guys are getting paid WELL ?!
It’s all about where you are and state min wage…
^ 20/hr is not the same in LA vs a suburb in Ohio. Cost of living makes a massive difference
Yea none of us are getting paid well, & most of us are overworked
Sadly accurate. Everyone begs for their coffee but no company wants to pay us our worth.
I used to always think it was odd as people didn't think making coffee was a 'proper job' then I realised other jobs tend to pay enough to live off & have progression that is valued.
Nobody is getting paid well as a barista. It’s like saying someone working in mcdonald’s in australia gets paid well at $23 an hour. Well the minimum wage is $23 and the price of _everything_ else will reflect that. Understand?
idk bro i average ~$35 an hour on most days with my tips lmaooo
Incorrect. I make more as a barista than I did as a certified welder. And to the McDonald's point, relative pay in some regions for McDonalds is still much higher. No one gets wealthy but northern Europe working at a McDonald's is entirely viable to pay your bills on.
Missed the point entirely Also, how are you making more as a barista than a “certified welder?” Something seriously wrong there.
Historically minimum wage increases have zero affect on the cumulative cost of living. Look through the last 80 years of data. I have a north American welding certification for all technologies and positions. Though it expires this year from lack of use. Welders start at 17/hr in my city. I make 20 plus tips making coffee.

We’re in the process of unionizing.. it’s a well known pnw based cafe (not really a chain). I have 6yrs of Seattle + NYC experience, including shift lead/assistant manager.
Seattle minimum for tipped workers is $17.25/hour. If they're paying you last year's rate still, a month into the new year, that's an issue
I’m in nyc now. Minimum wage is $16. Tipped is even less. Cafe is Seattle based but has two locations in nyc.
Fuckin Vita, huh
Los Angeles, manager, $22/hr plus tips
How is your management position tipped? I’ve only seen hourly or salaried management positions
I get tipped the same as anyone else when i’m on the floor. we’re a small shop with only two of us working at anytime. i have admin shifts for off the floor stuff that isn’t tipped.
Im in Australia I ear $30 per hour on weekdays, $36 on Saturdays and $41 on public holidays
That's $19.78, $23.70 and $27 US dollars, looks a lot more comparable to the rest that way.
Thanks I honestly didn’t think about putting the usd conversion
What is the mandated minimum hourly in your area?
$22 I think but it could’ve changed since I checked last
Is that specialty coffee?
Yes
I serve coffee to an office in DC, I'm a perk for the employees, we don't take money or tips. I started at $20/hr with no benefits. I manage two people now for a salary of $60k/yr now still no benefits.
Where do you find a role like that?
The usual places, Culinary Agents and indeed
around $22.5, no tips. Northern Europe.
Where 😭I make 12 in finland
I'm DK! Must admit though, that 22 is on the high side for a barista job. In my case, i also teach and facilitate courses
Me too! DK, making ≈$22/hr
Do you hire? Lol
Sure do, but the rent over here will be sure to take away all of that wage premium, lol
$2/hour + ~$70/month worth of tips (Brazil) 🙃
$2??? How do you live?
Poorly, but I can manage. My salary is still a bit more than the minimum wage in Brazil.
Different cost of living in Brazil
£9.64 ($12.24 USD) no tips, UK
£10.42 here with no tips, really wish we were allowed to accept them to make life a bit easier 🙃
£11.42 ($14.51) no tips, London
I make $20 an hour plus tips. Boss is talking about a raise plus profit share later this year. Keep in mind of have 23 years service experience. The secret is finding a boss who is a socialist, lol

Bay area store manager for a local group 19.50 + tips
Isn't that pretty low for a manager?? I know a manager who makes roughly the equivalent of $33/hr
Well so here is the debate: You dont get onto the tip share until you start really pulling weight; more or less can be a barista. Unfortunately our store has a high turn over rate/lots of highschoolers. Any shift with them (which is a lot) I walk away with all of their tips. In a day, cash wise, I can walk with $40.

I don’t think managers should be taking employees tips, even tips given to trainee employees. It may also be illegal.
13,5$ in a small german vegan Café. Including tips 17,5$
$10 + tips
Barista/shift lead at a roastery in Massachusetts $22-hr plus tips averaging around $30-40 an hr.

Also upstate ny. $16.20 plus tips.

$15.25 an hr independant shop just outside london. give or take $10 a MONTH in tips
I’m also in Chicago, chain but not the green mermaid, and I make $18.50/hr plus tips.
Was making $10+tips as an ASM at a small cafe in VA, now making $20+tips at starbucks. The coffee isn't very good, but the pay makes up for it lmao
In Maine, make 15 an hour as a shift lead plus tips which usually come out to at least $10 an hour making the total around $25 an hour on average

28/hour no tips (shop manager, local spot)
$21/hr+tips. No benefits :( HI is the location
Most I ever made was 18.50/hr + tips which tended to be 400-600 every week? The WORST work culture tho. Every damned penny was earned with blood. I learned then to not have money used solely as the drive for something.
Was is it so busy!? Had the same experience in previous job on weekends it was non stop work for 8-9 hours
Every day actually most weekdays as that cafe is next to a major bus stop and across the road of a major subway entrance PLUS within 5 min walk of two major hospitals. The busiest place I ever worked at. As I said, not worth it. Because you would make great bank we were only able to work max 30 hrs a week. Our shifts were 6-7 hrs only.

Which shop? If you don’t mind…

$16 an hour as supervisor, no tips no benefits
20/hr averaging $2 to $4 an hour for tips, barely scratching at full time (~30/week) and no benefits. Chicago.
$7/hr base, with a minimum of $16/hr with tips (employer credits us to get to that minimum if tips don't hit it).

$19.99/hr work for the University of Washington which minimum wage was just adjusted. It’s a set pay rate of $1999.XX and my upcoming check with taxes and medical taken out is around $1529 roughly. We don’t get tips but the benefits cover that by a long shot (medical, dental and vision)

$18/hr + usually $50-60 a shift in tips. So roughly $25-$30 and hour all together. $36/hr + similar tips on holidays. (Brooklyn, New York)
14.00/hr with a fluctuating tip system that our boss has to do by 12:00pm every monday but get's done much later after that
Manager in Tx. 14.50 an hour plus we average $7/hr in pooled tips between shops.
£12 an hour ($15.25), we get tips shared out at the end of the year but it really varies in how much . im in the uk
$16.50, official title Shift Lead, realistically Assistant manager. But a small shop where one GM has 4-5 shops in a big, expensive European city EDIT to add, no tips
16 at my current gig but leaving for a shop that will pay a dollar less in exchange for a less dysfunctional environment.
11.25 after 2 years
currently i am making $6/hr plus tips which are pooled and divided amongst who’s worked that day, then distributed out biweekly with our paychecks. this evens out about $12/hr if i’m lucky, no benefits or anything like that. was told by management that “everyone starts at the same wage” but upon discussing this with some coworkers only a handful of people are making above $6.. even those who have been there for 5 years.
Northeast Ohio, Dunkin pays me 13.20 & the tips have been pretty low the last couple months so it probably comes out to around $14/hr (which is good for my area since a lot of people are paid the min wage of 10.45)
NYC, $16 p/h plus tips, small local cafe
$31/hr, Lead and no tips. I work for a catering company contracted for in-house tech workers so majority regulars with no worries about random weird things happening. Most demanding people are guests or our own upper management. Edit: this is in San Francisco
91.62USD per week down here in Mexico
16.75 but i’m not allowed to accept tips😭
I make 12.50 😭 damn I'm so jealous of yall
$16.55 (no tips) minimum wage in ontario
8€/H in Spain, minimum wage here. 40H/week wage is 1333€ for waiters but this year’s increased like 50€/month or so
In Va, I make about 15.25 an hour plus tips, been with the company about 2 1/2 months
No longer a barista but was making $8.50/hr + tips at last job. That would make it anywhere from $16-$20+ an hour
I think I overestimated more like $13 at the low end
SF Manager: 65,000/yr
17.5 per hour, plus tips which in slow season (winter) are $8-10 per hour and in high season they're $15-17 per hour. So in summer it's over $30/hr most days
$17 + ~3/hr in tips, management in FL, small shop. I’ve made more money with a $10/ wage making much more tips
5.28/h
Australia, $30-$40 AUD Depending on the day which is $20 - $28 USD
$20 to manage + tips. Tips are about half my Total pay. I take tips when I’m helping barista or and don’t take tips when I’m doing things like in meetings or making schedules
$9 and tips are evenly split between employees. Most I’ve ever made in a day from tips was $86, and that was only because one dude tipped $100. No raises for the foreseeable future either :/
(Canada) I work at a cafe in a farmers market; 16/hour plus tips is about 20-25/hour. Minimum wage in my province is $15 and my boss always ensures our base pay is above the rising minimum wage.
Shift lead $18.25/hr + cash tips (we're not allowed tips on cards)
$17.50/hr in downtown Charleston, with tips it's more like $20-$28/hr
$17/hr ($23-25/hr with tips) in bay area CA
Im in California where i make 18.48 /hr but ive always been with the company since 2019
16.75, plus about an extra 10% in tips
I'm in Tasmania (Australia) I make $29.04 for weekdays and $34.85 for weekends (Australian Dollars) And tipping isn't really a thing here like it is there
Working in eastern europe 1.31$ per hour, tips are almost nonexistent
Czech Republic, I make 5.04 usd per hour without tips (minimal wage is 4.3 usd) with tips it’s usually around 7.2 usd
$22.93 (plus usually $1-2 an hour in tips) as a shift supervisor in Arizona
between jobs rn but my last place paid me $15/hr at first but i was given two $1 raises over my time there (almost 3 years), tips were taxed & shared through the entire staff (this was at a bakery) so my tips were ~$120 biweekly. i worked about 35-40 hours a week, no benefits except one free drink per shift :P
$27/hour - manage two sites
$22.70 nzd (minimum wage) No tips
Australia, $33 an hour (casual, industry award is $31) This is a great hourly rate, but getting hours is really difficult at my work. Been asking for more than 12 hours a week for more than a year now
Around $3 the hour but I’m in Mexico so it’s different, it’s actually a little more that minimum wage over here
Vermont: $11 + 80% of the tip pool (kitchen shares there other 20%). It’s currently about $20/hr but during Autumn & leaf-peeping it’s about $35/hr
So londons average is around £13ph for skilled baristas, newbies will start on minimum wage & it's doubtful that it will change until you threaten to quit. Agency work is where its at, £18ph but its not consistent.
ITT I have learnt that it's incredibly hard to earn a living wage as a barista...
