Steakhouse chain Miller & Carter criticised as waiting staff lose out on tips to up pay for chefs

Union and workers say waiting staff in some cases lose hundreds of pounds a month in income

Miller & Carter, the steakhouse chain owned by the nationwide pub group Mitchells & Butlers, has been criticised for taking payments from waiting staff worth up to 2% of the sales they serve up, cutting their income during the cost of living crisis.

The payments are intended as a way for waiting staff to share tips with chefs and other back of house workers.
