  • My new besties?

    I’ve been in the service industry for over 20 years and these guys have taught me new ways to up my game, and honestly are reminding me why I love service industry!

    However, one of my favorite things might be the friendship and respect and comedy these guys have with each other!

  • So glad this exists!

    It’s great to have a podcast that takes Tipped professional seriously. It so nice to have a place where you feel understood and entertained. It’s great to listen to while rolling silverware or during your shift drink.

  • Best Server Podcast out there

    Yo! Been a server for over 2 decades now. A little while ago I lost my love for serving and was pissing off guests. This podcast truly helped me rediscover the greatness of being a seasoned and skilled server by providing tips and skills to fine tune my craft through knowledge and humor. A definite listen for servers new to the biz or old crab apples such as myself !

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Truth About Tipping: Cornell Professor Reveals What Really Happens
Q: What practical tips could servers use to increase tips based on your findings?
Actions like smiling, calling customers by name, and using subtle, approved touches can raise tips; even giving candy and noting thanks can boost generosity, especially when done as a controlled, personable gesture rather than forced policy.
The Truth About Tipping: Cornell Professor Reveals What Really Happens
Q: How did you get into tipping research, and why did you stay with it?
The author started waiting tables in college to pay for school, and after moving through several tipping roles, realized tipping was a meaningful and systematic phenomenon worth studying, especially to understand social dynamics and policy implications.
The Truth About Tipping: Cornell Professor Reveals What Really Happens
Q: What was your biggest surprise in the tipping research?
The biggest surprise was that a large portion of the population does not know that the expected tip is 15-20%, with about 30% giving responses outside that range, highlighting a widespread knowledge gap rather than a universal norm.
Terpene Tales: Culinary Cannabis With Chef Travis Petersen
Q: What is your biggest stigma that you've had to face?
The perception of what cannabis is, especially in the Midwest and the South, where there might be a negative view.
Terpene Tales: Culinary Cannabis With Chef Travis Petersen
Q: Tell us about your mission.
