Learn how to make extra money in tips using this book
That's exactly what I thought until I came across Patti Farnham's Gratuity Ingenuity.
For the record, when I first took a look at the sales page for the book, I wasn't exactly sold. It sounded 'too good to be true' and a bit pitchy.
I noticed that there are a few typos and mispelled words here and there, but nothing too major. The author actually apologizes, in advance, for any grammatical mistakes she may have made.
Nevertheless, there was an underlying tone of sincerity in the anecdotes and personal experiences that she shared.
And as someone who works in the service industry as a bartender, I was curious regarding her techniques that allowed her to make extra money just on tips.
So I went ahead and purchased the book for $20. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised by what I found in the 70 page ebook.
Before we move on, let me tell you a little about the author.
Patti Farnham has worked in the service industry as a bartender, waitress, cocktail waitress, and manager for well over 26 years. In Gratuity Ingenuity, she compiles her experiences and provides insider's tips on how to increase your tip income many folds by paying attention to simple details and performing certaing actions.
Her anecdotes are sincere as they are profound.
After finishing her book, I myself was amazed at the amount of things I learned and have, as a result, put into practice, myself.
The results were and, still, are quite astounding.
The information provided in the book on how to make extra money is golden. Patti genuinely wants to spread the word and help those interested enough to learn how make extra money by increasing their tip earnings.
In the book, Patti categorizes the patrons into three different categories, and provides ways to spot these individuals and how to interact with them in order to bring in a good tip.
Unique ways to deal with unique groups of customers. Makes perfect sense. After all, not everyone is created equal right?
She begins each section with an actual comment that a customer made (typos included) regarding his or her experience at a bar or restaurant.
They are not only quirky and funny, but also very eye-opening, revealing common mistakes that servers make that completely jeopardize the tip amount he could have received.
The techniques and tips on how to make extra money on tips are simple as they are honest.
One of the techniques Patti mentions earlier on in the book, for example, is something I have seen happen first hand in many settings. If a bill comes to $9.82 and the customer hands you a $20 bill, you might be tempted to provide a $10 bill and 18 cents in change. Simple, right? Not so.
What this does is, it leaves the customer with no choice but to either scrounge around their pockets or wallet for loose change or simply leave you a 18 cent tip. Some might go the extra mile of asking you to break the $10 bill into smaller change, but why add on an extra step for the customer?
In this situation, all you have to do is provide one $5 bill and five $1 bills, plus the loose coins, and leave everything to the customer who will most likely leave you a bigger tip than if you had handed him a single $10 bill.
Common sense, right? Make it easy for them, and they will reward you with a generous tip.
This is just an example of an extensive list of Patti's what to do and what not to do in order to make extra tips. Patti makes Gratuity Ingenuity very easy and fun to read. She sections out the techniques based on whether you're a bartender, waiter, cocktail waitress, and male or female.
As an extra bonus, (I didn't know this at the time of purchase) readers can sign up to receive helpful emails listing techniques to increase their tip income!
The first tip I received related to removing barriers between you, the server, and the customer by simply, among other things, meeting them at their eye level, and occasionally going out from behind the bar and STOPPING beside the customer.
She goes onto mention other techniques that make you seem closer and more personable to the customer, thereby increasing your tip earnings.
The reason I want to recommend this book to others is because these methods actually do work, and will allow you to easily make extra money during your shifts.
I've tried these techniques myself, and have seen my tips increase. I wouldn't recommend them otherwise.
If you're going to buy one book on bartending, or more specifically a book on how to make extra money by bartending, make it this book. It would be money, more exactly $20, well spent.
Trust me.
You'll earn it back many times over. I know I did. ***z-below-paragraph-1.shtml*** ***z-above-socialize-it.shtml*** ***z-socialize-it.shtml*** ***z-below-socialize-it.shtml***

My Review
Patti begins the book by mentioning, how even though she wasn't the , youngest, or prettiest bartender or server at the bar or restaurant, she constantly outearned everyone in the amount of tip money she received. As a result, she was able to earn extra money that her colleagues were missing out on.In the book, Patti categorizes the patrons into three different categories, and provides ways to spot these individuals and how to interact with them in order to bring in a good tip.
