    I was just answering the questionnaire. I like my Migaki and I don't have issues with it wedging or bad release. The thing I don't like about it is the reactivity and sometimes I wish it was a little taller Easy to sharpen would be ideal, edge retention not a big deal

    Thoughts on tip sharing

    I'm good with tips as an option but I believe it should be a bonus not part of your wage. Appreciate it but don't expect it I don't agree with what I hear about the US industry paying little to nothing for wages I've seen posts about $2-3/ hour wage

    I get the idea of doing away with tips but for this discussion, foh/boh staff are already paid good competitive wages

    I'd prefer to stay 210mm that's what I like and comfortable with. I've tried going bigger before and regretted it

    This is a good discussion I'm actually in Canada and in this situation, staff are paid competitive wages. Tips are not expected but appreciated Also since covid there is no dine in, take out only Those who are in favour of tip sharing how would you split or what formula do you use
