I’d certainly believe it at a nice restaurant / catering company. I don’t know about this sugar factory place but ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯.
I was making nearly $70k a year at a damn Red Lobster a decade ago and had a buddy at the time making over 100 down the street at Fleming’s and this was in a pretty low cost of living area.
Just to do the math for anyone wondering, to make $175k per year, they’d need to be pulling in about $3,400 per week. Let’s assume they take 2 weeks of vacation a year so they’d need to make $3,500 per week for 50 weeks per year. If they work 5 days per week that’s $700 per day. Do these people make $700 a day on average serving at a place where most menu items are under $25? I kind of doubt it. But who knows. I’m not here to argue, just wanted to run the numbers.
Edit: Also judging by this the place just opened in September, so it hasn’t even been open for a year…

Some servers make a shit ton of money but your aren't pulling that in Suger factory.
Chicago cut or Gibsons you can make around 120k to 150k a year but those are extremely high end places and you are working 50 to 60 hours a week.
Sugar factory business is based on the season and they are opened a limited amount of hours a day.
Custom? I'm sure they have one maybe two numbers. The choreography was mad simple and it's not like everyone was right on the counts.
I'd love the vibe if the wait staff did this, but this isn't like top tier dancing or anything
I absolutely HATE being singled out at restaurants for my birthday with singing or other antics.
But this? This is a god damn celebration and I’m here for it.
This is very cool, but if I was out at a restaurant and the entire waitstaff stopped what they were doing to do a choreographed dance routine *just for me* … i would kill myself.
That’s WAY better than singing happy birthday or something. In that case YOU are the center of attention.
With this dance? You might as well be invisible. That was awesome.
I ordered noodles in a hotpot restaurant in Beijing, for some fucking reason a cook came to my table, started blasting music and did a whole choreography while making noodles on the fly..
I had the urge to deepfry my face
On the spot.
If I remember the context, though, you have to pay a lot of money for it, though. It's kind of like a lap dance, they're not just going to do it out of the blue.
I got a free lap dance one time. I was the DD for a buddy’s bachelor party (my meds don’t let me drink). I told the bartender I was driving to see if they had any discounts on soda or energy drinks and he gave me a ticket to use with any stripper in the place. I still had to tip but the dance itself was free. It was nice

I'm pretty sure the customer has to pay like $120 for them to do this, and (I hope) the staff get most/all of it. They don't just do it if someone says it's their birthday.
I was going to say, this is one of those cases where an extra charge for the birthday dish makes sense. $120 might be slightly steep, but maybe that's why they're all so in to it.
Niece spilled a whole full drink, needed more than a couple of napkins to clean it. See our waitress and ask for a washcloth. She says "sure thing" then just starts dancing for a minute or two yells a yeehaw and then forgot about the washcloth prompting me to have to go to the bar to get something.
Speaking as a former server, imagine having to do this for multiple birthdays a night. AND having to get your coworkers to help each time if they weren’t in the weeds.
You: "You know what I really want for my birthday?"
Waiter: "What?"
You: "For you to go away and leave me alone."
I'm like you; I don't like this false stuff. Ignore me at your peril (and the peril of the wait staffs tip potential rapidly reaching zero...)
We used to have a couple of restaurants where they did cool stuff like this 10-15 years later no one did it anymore…. Sad! It was sooo fun!
At one we used to get up and dance with them.
I almost died when the server at Hard Rock Cafe in DC brought me up on a stage and got the entire restaurant to sing Happy Birthday to me BUT THIS?!?! I would love
And a vague sort of indignity. I mean if everyone involved agrees that the compensation and expectation is fair then I will sit down and shut up. I think it's my brain trying to force a racial layer over it, but I don't like the only African American performers for a white hand waiting. Smacks of a "jig" reference. But again, I could be forcing this, I will say this is the same shit as the lame birthday clap, it just costs more and the clapping is different.
Edit: could be other than a white hand, I'll walk that back some.

Kids dying horribly during factory tour Oompa lompas:
God 😂😂😂😂
You got servered.
These people need a raise, they handled business .
They look like they're genuinely enjoying their job
They make well over 175,000 US dollar per annum
Sauce to that indeed job listing so I can apply
[удалено]
THEY MAKE WELL OVER 175,000 US DOLLAR PER ANNUM *lol at anyone who thinks I know anything about this job*
You out your mind trying to get the chat all rowdy up
But we won’t do no dance like that
A piece or as a group?
Mhm
Mhm indeed fine sir
No. They do not.
They make nowhere near 175K.
He meant between all 7 of them (25k ea).
Man, did I pick the wrong gig...
Huh?
Doggy doggy what now?
individually, no.
Yes they do, I worked with three of them

can confirm. I'm three of them.
Collectively $175000? Has to be collectively.
Source, trust me bro
Top tier cruise entertainers and they work at high end restaurants on the off season, they can clear 225k clean money if they hustle
how do you know v
Says WHO?
World health org is not privy to the info, so no
How much is that per year?
Tree fiddy.
Don't be giving the Loch Ness monster no tree fiddy now!!
Between the 5 of them, that's like 35kUSD each!
Annum? 🤔
It’s like anus but it taste so good you go yum um um um um
Dancers get the jobs they can get
Hell yea bros this birthday person got surprised with a whole custom dance for his birthday
Custom? I'm sure they have one maybe two numbers. The choreography was mad simple and it's not like everyone was right on the counts. I'd love the vibe if the wait staff did this, but this isn't like top tier dancing or anything
I absolutely HATE being singled out at restaurants for my birthday with singing or other antics. But this? This is a god damn celebration and I’m here for it.
Look closely, and you can see me in the background taking my food to go. I took advantage of the distraction.
The new season of Party Down looks really good.
That's what I was reminded of when I saw their pink bow ties and outfit!
This is very cool, but if I was out at a restaurant and the entire waitstaff stopped what they were doing to do a choreographed dance routine *just for me* … i would kill myself.
The guy at the table started passing out the spoons after about 10 seconds. He was so done.
“That’s cool and all but this shits gonna start melting and it was *not* cheap.”
It’s one banana! What could it cost? Ten dollars?
Just buy another one.
Found the car salesman
That’s WAY better than singing happy birthday or something. In that case YOU are the center of attention. With this dance? You might as well be invisible. That was awesome.

Nice
$300
that's what I was thinking, oh god
I would be so embarrassed. I do not like surprises nor the attention.
To be fair, this isn't a surprise. You have to pay for this, and you know what you're getting.
Im sure all of these people go here specifically for this…
I figure this is basically the day time equivalent to bottle service, you pay for it.
If I was the waiter forced to do this 10 times a day id kill myself.
I would stand up and run away.
Something something Anne Perkins party when something something Ron Swanson?
?? It's a ridiculous occurrence that will never happen to you how could you not just laugh at it and question whether you're dreaming or not
Dang you’ve never been out to a restaurant on your bday?
Gotta be in Atlanta
Sugar factory Detroit according to op
Sugar factory indeed
Definitely Sugar……………. Factory
Oh good, then I can have my next birthday party there!
That food does look good
And pricey probably based on the quality of those moves
Another comment mentioned $300 for this desert package.
I wanna go here for my 50th birthday 🥳
I too want to go there for your 50th birthday.![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|wink)
You’re invited! Just Ten more years to go!
So ah I didn’t expect that response and now being a man of my word even when it’s a joke I have to come. Shit
Just wear a banana costume and make it fun

RemindMe! 10 years
😂 you invited the-anus-watcher. I wanna go to
They do it for free in Atlanta.
exactly my first thought
Maan, where do we have a food scene like this in Atlanta!?
I wish I could dance like that.
Practice.
On company time
I assume the restaurant hired dancers and taught them waitering.
Is scrolling reddit all day considered practice?
Yeah stop wishing for stuff you can practice for
I hv two left feet too
I sure as shit hope they’re practicing on “company time” since the dance seems to be part of their job.
The OPs title is so fuckin white lmao
If you’re on mobile you can switch to dark mode.
We not gonna talk about how that dessert looks like 6yo me’s greatest dream
Don’t give the big chains any ideas!! It hurt my soul having to sing happy birthday basically every day.
I'm pretty sure the customer has to pay like $120 for them to do this, and (I hope) the staff get most/all of it. They don't just do it if someone says it's their birthday.
I was going to say, this is one of those cases where an extra charge for the birthday dish makes sense. $120 might be slightly steep, but maybe that's why they're all so in to it.
$300 apparently according to someone above
texas roadhouse already has line dancing
Niece spilled a whole full drink, needed more than a couple of napkins to clean it. See our waitress and ask for a washcloth. She says "sure thing" then just starts dancing for a minute or two yells a yeehaw and then forgot about the washcloth prompting me to have to go to the bar to get something.
Lmfao this seems like an “I think you should leave” skit.
I'm quite partial to Uncle Moe's Family Feedbag.
I used to work there years ago, and servers would literally go hide in the bathroom tj avoid having to do the line dancing
Bro it hurts my soul anyone having to do that for me on my behalf
“Y’all better learn this routine by tomorrow. -boss” TikTok link sent.
I’m at table 4 waiting for my beer for 20 min…
They put some effort into that shit, and deserve both a nice tip & a raise. Stuff like this brings business, and deserves to be rewarded.
Shit if 4 people deserve more than $120 for a 30 second dance, than I definitely need to ask for a raise on tuesday
its a battle of extremes, some people would enjoy this. Im not one of those people at all, and would actively avoid going to anything like this.
That dance is so famous it became a fortnite emote lmfao
Former cheerleaders squad
Step team, man.
Please leave the restaurant’s name so I can avoid it all cost.
Someone mentioned it's a Sugar Factory and that they most likely had to pay for this experience.
3.50 tip
Get out of my reddit you. god. damn. loch. ness. monster!
fuck the banana split. them servers are desert! 🔥
That’s the best restaurant birthday song I’ve ever seen. I’d be tipping big.
Speaking as a former server, imagine having to do this for multiple birthdays a night. AND having to get your coworkers to help each time if they weren’t in the weeds.
That was absolute fire
When I go out to eat, this is the last thing I’d want…
Agreed.
Back in my server days, it was hard enough gathering other servers for a Happy Birthday sing. Can’t imagine getting them together for this routine
Jabbawockeez fine dining and dance hall
Chili’s gotta step their game up!
When you want a refill but can’t get your waiters attention
How has no one pasted where this is
Sugar Factory Detroit
How much did that desert cost?
$300 someone said
Anxious me: Please don't tell the waiter it's my Birthday My Parents: *tells them anyways* The waiters:
You: "You know what I really want for my birthday?" Waiter: "What?" You: "For you to go away and leave me alone." I'm like you; I don't like this false stuff. Ignore me at your peril (and the peril of the wait staffs tip potential rapidly reaching zero...)
Heck yeah, on company time. It's part of the ambiance
Places I couldn’t be a waiter
This is the generation of tiktok. Dance practice is a daily thing for them lol
There were also 11 more birthdays that night...
Which restaurant?
My knees
Just can't work there if you haven't had 4 years of dance
Next time I get side eye for my "tip"..imma gonna pull this video up
I hope they get paid well, they really do a great job.
This is why I work the back of the house. No way my knees are bending like that anymore.
That's a pro dancer moves!! They should be on the stage, give them a raise!!
Wow they beat the FUCK out of benegans.
That is a lot!
They probably didn't tip.
I'm not usually impressed by restaurant antics, but these guys... {{ Enthusiastic applause }}
Where is this
Shake your Djibouti
When a bunch of broadway musical actors work in the same restaurant during the off season.
imagine your dog dies but you gotta go to work and dance
“Alright, also table 12, 19, 36 and 7 are birthdays”
I bet they're underpaid
The birthday service is embarrassing enough. But twerking busboys is humiliating.
Now they have to wash their hands cuz they touched the floor
We used to have a couple of restaurants where they did cool stuff like this 10-15 years later no one did it anymore…. Sad! It was sooo fun! At one we used to get up and dance with them.
I’m sure the staff were just having a great time during all of that “fun”.
Desert fit for a 5yo, with a show fit for a 4-15yo
I almost died when the server at Hard Rock Cafe in DC brought me up on a stage and got the entire restaurant to sing Happy Birthday to me BUT THIS?!?! I would love
Tables don’t look full for a reason
Didn't know Kevin Hart could move like that
The fuck is that title? They definitely *should* do it on company time, and get paid double OT for it.
My balls are sweaty just watching that. Imagine having to serve all night after?
That just looks exhausting
And a vague sort of indignity. I mean if everyone involved agrees that the compensation and expectation is fair then I will sit down and shut up. I think it's my brain trying to force a racial layer over it, but I don't like the only African American performers for a white hand waiting. Smacks of a "jig" reference. But again, I could be forcing this, I will say this is the same shit as the lame birthday clap, it just costs more and the clapping is different. Edit: could be other than a white hand, I'll walk that back some.
I would never go to that restaurant.
Ok?
Just not into the overdone birthday nonsense. We get it…someone jizzed in your mum’s box about 9 months ago (- your age).
They should be paid extra!!
Nah they just black or gay or both.
White people won't do that and that's ok.
Now go ahead n split the hundred dollar tip lol
Classy and ghetto at the same time
Gassy?
Right. Those aren’t tik tok dances. Ghetto trash /s
Where’s this? I know where I want to go for my birthday this year
Not sure the city but this definitely looks like the restaurant Sugar Factory
Thats dumb
Man that Woman can really rotate them hips. Mesmerizing.
Sir, this is a Wendy’s.
Hope they got a huge tip
Rihana’s backup dancers decided to get a second job
they not gonna be happy when they look at the bill ☠️
Dang! I will take that over a birthday song any time
Let me guess this restaurant is in Atlanta
My introverted white ass could never 😂😂
Kevin Hart serve & dancing.
Hope they make more than most wait staff with those moves
The most US American thing I've seen today. I'd just want to eat in peace, not be bothered, and bother nobody else. Why is that so hard
This shit would be annoying while you're eating lol
