Baristas are tipped Employees. Because we understand you need to be able to count on your paycheck, we have created a Guaranteed Wage Program. If your hourly wage (TBD, but starts at minimum) and your reported tips do not average $18 / hr (part time) or $19 / hr (full time over 32 hrs per week), The Atom will make up the difference by adjusting your base wage. Most baristas will average higher than this amount. We have never had to adjust the base wage to date.
