We’ve all been there, you leave a generous 15% tip after a great meal, assuming it’s going straight to the person who made your night special. But is it? On this episode of Mid-mornings with Mo Flava, we’re pulling back the curtain on the hospitality industry.

Mo kicks things off with a frustrating personal story from a local spot where he discovered the waiter didn't receive a cent of the tip he left. We’re joined by an industry insider who breaks down the "complexities" of tipping policies, from management taking a cut for "admin fees" to the controversial world of tip pooling. We explore why your hard-earned money might be getting stuck in the system and what you, as a customer, can do to ensure the right people are being compensated. Is it time to go back to cash-only tipping, or do we need better regulation in our restaurants?

Add Mo Flava to your day! Ease into your workday with Mo Flava’s laid-back energy mid-mornings. As a DJ and self-proclaimed “cool dad,” Mo has stories for days and isn’t afraid to laugh at himself.
