Assuming an 8 hour shift and just four tables per waitress and a 2 hour turnover per table, that is 16 tables per shift. (These are conservative numbers.)
According to my calculations, at $100 per table in revenue, that is $1600 per night.
A 15% tip is $240, 18% is $288, 20% is &320, and 25% is $400.

If all the Servers in Central Florida who are making $72,000 a year decided to go on a road trip together, during their 4 weeks vacation, they could all fit in a golf cart.
