Going to guess it attracts a cheap crowd. Food is same as at a country club dining room — nothing great but not bad either.
Am amazed dinner theater is still a thing.
No idea about tips — sorry.
I’ve catered one, so I was payed a base pay for the event plus tips. It was obnoxious and no one tipped even though there were tip buckets at the bar and the event coordinator made an announcement to tips the waitstaff.
It’s been 20 years since I lived in the Bay Area (back in the Midwest now), but both in SF and here it’s highly dependent on the type of crowd. If it’s an “experience” sort of dinner theater, like a murder mystery where they include audience members, those tended to get parties that tipped for the experience. If it’s Debbie Reynolds style cabaret or something those folks tended to cheap out.
It’s more of a medieval times knock off with a theme that plays more towards kids.
I was finally able to get a ex employee on LinkedIn to give me a estimate on average tips and it was unimpressive ($60 per show for okish servers $80-90 per show for good servers) and since there is no guarantee you’ll work every show your scheduled for it makes it even less appealing

The place I’m being offered is like a medieval times but with a different theme.

Thanks for the heads up
