Methodology: medians reconcile live advertised UK salaries for this role and region; 25th–75th percentiles are shown only where at least 5 live salaried listings back them. They are measured or omitted, never interpolated. Rows marked indicative are anchored to our curated 2026 baseline ranges until enough live data accrues. Listings advertising an implausible annual figure (a mislabelled hourly or daily rate) are excluded rather than converted, because converting one means guessing the hours behind it.

Market view. Waiting and bar roles pay at or just above the National Living Wage (£12.21 from April 2025, rising in 2026) with service charge and tips on top; supervisors and restaurant managers sit at the top of the band and general managers above it (£35,000–£55,000).
