You need to email Garrett Thomas. Garrett is the MAN when it comes to multiple restaurant magic gigs during his week. I cannot help you out much except I hope you are not wasting your time only working for tips at the one location. Ouch. Hopefully the clients there book you outside at other events.
Would love to hear back from you in two months to see how this goes. Keep us posted please.

I would suggest leaving the one place that is only going to pay you tips, because you'll end up barely making any money their and you'll feel like a beggar.
There is nothing wrong with working for tips at a restaurant keep in mind even if you are not getting paid
you are still meeting people who can hire you for gigs.

The problem with working for tips is that you are not getting paid for your time at the restaurant. Sure, people later on MIGHT hire you for gigs, but why waste your time with the "maybe". If you are getting paid nightly or hourly at the place and it's a slow season, you are still making a profit. Rather than if you are just working for tips, you'll barely break even and most likely will end up hating the place you are working at, because not every table is going to tip you, and if the table FEELS like you are trying to hustle them, they most likely won't want to hire you later for a gig.
i have a two restaurant gigs right now one pays $75 for two hours the other i only get tips but i am making
around $1500 a month from gigs from that restaurant so it would not make sense for me to to stop working there
because they are not paying me.
Look for Benji Bruce here in the forums...he can give you a lot of good advice on how to get gigs on the restaurants...
