Do Line Cooks Get Tips?
Line cooks generally do not receive tips directly from customers, as they are part of the kitchen staff and are not in direct contact with customers. However, some restaurants have a policy of pooling tips and distributing them amongst all staff, including the kitchen staff. In these cases, line cooks may receive a share of the tips. Additionally, some restaurants may provide bonus or incentive programs for kitchen staff, which could include a share of the tips.
