1. 30hrs, and probably 6.55
2. 30 hours work, and since your tryin to be a busser, youll get a lil lower then minimum prolly cause of a lot of tips. regardless minimum wage is dependant on state if not county
3. min. wage is 8 dollars i think, and it sorta depends on your schedule how many hours you are gonna work
4. sorry but if your 16 your most likely not going to be a busser or host, you have to be like 18 and minimum wage is 7.05 but is suposed to go up to 8.15 soon. usually about 30 hours a week, depends on the employer. and the economy sucks rite now, its ganna be hard finding a job, trust me
5. Minimum wage should be $7.55 an hour with no health insurance benefits. You can work as many hours as you want but you can not work during school hours or after 11pm. Tips are determined by how much the customers enjoyed the service. You can always read articles about someone who tipped a waiter $100. And there was a guy in New Jersey who split his winning lottery ticket with a waitress..
