frequently asked questions by owners & managers:
Please reach us at info@servereserves.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Our rates for Reservers won’t break the bank. We’re Industry, too, and we built this platform to solve your shift coverage problems, not create new ones.
There's a rule of thumb that the cost is typically 1.25 to 1.4 times the salary, depending on certain variables. So, if you pay someone minimum wage in Washington State at $15.74 per hour, your end cost is actually over $18 an hour right now.
Per the Small Business Administration, hiring an employee means considerable payroll tax costs, including:
•Employer share of FICA (7.65% on compensation up to the annual wage base, which is $132,900 in 2019, plus 1.45% on compensation over the annual wage base). •Federal unemployment tax (FUTA) of $42 per employee. The FUTA tax rate is 6%, but most employers can take a FUTA credit of 5.4%, resulting in a mere 0.6%. •State unemployment tax, which varies with your state and your claims experience (the more claims made by former employees for unemployment benefits, the higher your state unemployment tax rate will be).
Reservers are independent contractors, not employees. You'll receive an invoice for the total owed for the hourly base rate for your labor coverage. This invoice for services is tax deductible for your business.
When you create your business account, we'll collect information to connect you with the Reservers best suited for your business. We also share this information with the Reserver pool when posting a shift to be picked up.
Great examples are:
- Dive Bar vs. Fine Dining bartenders
- Cooks who run food
- Specific POS systems
- Bartenders with pull tab experience
- Other unique elements of your businesses offerings to customers
We know that an amazing Dive Bartender and a exceptional Fine Dining Server are two entirely different things. We match both the demographic of your business and the needs of your operations with local, experienced talent that complements your profile.
We provide ratings systems for both sides so all parties confidently book or accept shifts. Some Reservers elect to have background checks. You'll see a profile icon to indicate they have passed a Checkr criminal background check along with employment verification.
For hiring, we provide an option for background checks or job verifications as well.
Lastly, we've been on both sides of the restaurant business and your experience is of greatest important to us!
Tips are to be paid to Reservers upon the completion of their shift. If your restaurant's policy is to send tips the next day with a card payment, we will disclose that in your shift posting for Reservers to evaluate in selecting a shift.
Our independent contractors are responsible for claiming tips for tax purposes.
