Fairness and transparency in gratuities
Some customers have expressed frustration with Santa Barbara Catering's practice of collecting cash tips from servers and bartenders, citing concerns about whether the company is fair and transparent in how these tips are distributed. One customer reported that a manager took cash tips without counting them or providing a receipt, leaving the staff member unclear about the amount they received. The company has a policy of collecting cash tips and paying them out on paychecks, but some customers are unhappy with this arrangement.
