Related: About this forumStarting April 1, owners will institute a “no tipping” policy.
"Were going to standardize their pay so their pays will be the same every week, co-owner Justin Steel explains. And what it does is it provides them some stability.

Sounds good, especially based on what's tucked away at the end of the story.

Will the lack of tipping take away the incentive of the staff? Owners and staff say no. Each employee is getting shares in the restaurant. The better the bar does the more shares they get.
Profit sharing with staff, kudos.

(18,219 posts)3. Bar Marco---we should be giving them publicity.
Tucked into an old fire station in the Strip District, Bar Marco prides itself on doing things differently.
The name should be part of the headline. I want this shouted from the rooftops. This is such a great move and I hope that they succeed. I will have to make it down to the strip just so that I can eat here. They say that the prices will rise "slightly"....well, since I tip at least 20%, that will not be a problem. I bet that my bill will still be less overall.
Kudos to Bar Marco.
