IMHO... Luring great quality servers for a startup establishment would be tricky. I think you might have to start with an assured base pay, like catering does. I mean this to ensure that the position can pay the server's bills in order to get them on board. Server minimum wage is under $4 an hour, and that's just not going to make ends meet. Especially if tips are pooled; that only makes for worse service IMO. Quality people will need some financial assurances, especially if they're coming from an establishment like Common Man.
