It's usually minimum wage, which varies by state, plus tips tipped out to the bussers by servers at the end of their shifts. In some areas, it depends how the OG is run, bussers are paid what is called tipping minimum wage, which means they get a lower hourly wage because the difference between that number and regular min wage is made up by the tips they collect. This variation isn't normal though because bussers usually do more than just bus, they run food, clean, help servers/bar/back of house, etc.

In my experience, the more attentive a busser was to my tables, the more I tipped at the end of the night.

They have also gone to a "pot" tipping system in some OGs where the servers don't tip directly to one busser who is assigned to their section but to a pot that is divided among all the bussers at the end of the night.

Servers make $2.13 an hour plus tips, but they also need to tip out the bar and bus boys based on their sales.

At our Olive Garden in Minnesota, all our servers start out at regular minimum wage, which was $6.15/hr when I started, but I believe minimum wage is now $7.15/hr. So while they might be able to pay you less than that ($2.13/hr for example), our Olive Garden does not go that low. And Servers are asked to tip out 10%, based on their own total tips, to bussers and another 10% to the bartender(s). The truth is that the Servers often lie about how much they really made in tips so they don't have to tip the bussers and bartenders much. Server tips in one dinner shift can regularly vary between $40 and $200, wholly depending on how busy it is, the table turnover rate, and the luck of the draw with how well your tables tip out.

Actually at the OG I work at servers

start at min. wage (7.50/hr where I am) but this is only for the training period. Their wage then goes down to 2.83/hr when they handle their own sections.

When I worked there years ago I averaged anywhere between 17-20 a hour with tips added in. But I worked my butt off to make it. But not bad for someone that was 18 years old and no waitering experience. I was being paid $5.25 a hour and then after tips it averaged out to 17-20 a hour. But its a stressful Job
