Waffle House plans to increase pay for servers at its restaurants across the country over the next three years, with some workers likely to see raises of a few dollars an hour.viewed by HuffPost, CEO Joe Rogers III explained to employees that the pay boosts would “affect every single salesperson at Waffle House ,” and would be funded by menu price increases targeted at stores in areas with high costs of living. The raises apply only to servers and will start going into effect this month.
One of those workers, Cindy Smith, said in an interview that she was happy to see the announcement and expected a pay bump of $3 per hour or more. After 30 years with the company, she currently earns $2.92 per hour before tips, she said. Diners will see higher prices to offset those pay increases, particularly in urban markets, according to the video. Waffle House assumes that customers in expensive areas like Atlanta and Houston will be more willing to accept price hikes than those in low-cost-of-living markets.
