Considering my partner and I may spend over 70 hours prepping for an event and then the next day clean up while the staff may work less than 8 hours for an event
they are probably making more per hour than the owners

also we have built up our business with some customers (over 30 years) who are now more like friends only want us to caterer their events, while our staff is always great without guidance and someone "pushing them" , it would be like a football team without coaches
don't think they would be able to do the job as well

we bust our busts everyday and work 7 days a week to make the corporation a success
our clients know we care about them and just not their business

executing an event is 95% preparation and 5 day of execution

Hope this explains why we sometimes take a share usually when they are making over $37 ish per hour for being banquet servers
we are always very appreciative of our staff

I can think of several professions that make big bucks and do not share the pot with support staff
