Previous answer was answering a question with a question.
There is, however, no simple answer here. It depends on a variety of factors including geographical location and the type of restaurant. Take McDonald's, for example. Technically a restaurant, but their cooks make minimum wage - as opposed to a fine dining restaurant at a resort where the cooks might make upwards of $15-16 per hour.
Servers make a minimum wage of between $2 and $5 per hour, depending on the state. They make, at the very least, minimum wage, and usually average $15 to $25 per hour, or more, when you factor in their tips.
Assistant managers and General managers generally make above $50,000 per year at an average sit-down restaurant.
Location, type of restaurant, experience, and a number of other things will come into play, so do your homework before that interview!
