Japanese waitress working in Hawaii: "1 million yen/month" working only in the morning a few days a week

I found an interesting article on the web.

The story goes ⇒ "Now Hawaii is short on staff, so hourly wages are going up and up. I am a waitress at a famous local restaurant and the tips are good because it is a popular restaurant. I earn about 1 million yen a month by working only a few hours in the morning and a few days a week. I also enjoy my hobby of surfing, which is great." （ Ms. Hashimoto ）


I thought it was totally implausible. No matter how good the treatment is in Hawaii, where there is a shortage of labor, such a restaurant would not exist in par time.
Recently, I think there are more and more media outlets that introduce people to work abroad to earn high income, but many of them are false and unacceptable.
Do you think there is such a good restaurant in Hawaii with good treatment ？
If there is, please let us know.

I also read this article and wondered ？ if it was true.

At face value of 1 million yen, that's about $7,000 a month at the current dollar-yen rate.
$500 a day for 14 days of work.
If I worked 4 hours a day, $125 an hour.
Since you would be earning almost exclusively in tips, you would handle breakfast at 20% of the cost of the meal, which is about $650 per hour.
If you are in Waikiki, you would handle 22 tables per hour at $30 per meal.

I wonder if it is possible ～ ？
But to begin with, it is difficult to get a work visa to work as a waiter.
Also, even if you are making this much money now, it is a job that is easily affected by the economy. （ But since you are a "migrant", it is probably only temporary ）.
Also, since you would be responsible for your own health insurance, it would reduce your actual income.

And that's my lunch break musings.

No, 7,000 to 8,000 is good ？ if it's 3 or 4 days a week
and 2 of those days are on weekends or during Sunday brunch.
Nowadays, there are more mainland tourists than Japanese tourists, so tipping is better.
Even if you have to pay for your own health insurance, at least 50% of it is covered by the company, and the place I worked at covered 100%
so it's not that hard.
In Waikiki, the hourly wage is high to begin with because of the labor shortage, and if it's plus tips, it's even more so.
I feel it's amazing because it's a million dollars, but I thought it was a normal story if you think about it in dollars.
By the way, a friend of mine works part time at a lunch box restaurant, not a restaurant,
and she said that the tip jar in front of the cash register is accumulating.
Plus those who pay by card charge it to their card, so "I can get 100+ tips in a restaurant like this"
she said.

Maybe that figure is due to the weak yen, but it's ＄ 7 ， 000 per month.
In fact, it is impossible to spend that much on labor.

Tip included, but I don't
think they would pay that much for a wait person.

If the price per dish is going up, then the purchase price is also going up.

So I think ＄ 3 ， 000 to ＄ 5 ， 000 per month is possible.

The reality is, restaurants are hard to manage. I know there are restaurants
that close suddenly every month.

I want you to see the reality. So if you have this monthly income, it is
extremely rare.
