Additional Information
I wanted to give an updated review ( even if only a matter of months ) When I first reviewed this club, I had just started working there . After having worked for awhile my opinion has changed some.
First let me tell you it is one of the bigger money clubs in Indianapolis. The only other ones I would consider along the same amount are Dancers and PT's.
The money is good here for a few reasons but the main being OUT OF TOWNERS. Corp charge cards etc.
The tip out is avg. for the city and low for a bigger city.
10% to the DJ
5 % to the house
8 bucks to the house mom.
20 to the management when you get a vip ( vips are 120 half hour ) IF paid in cash.
The staff..meaning waitresses, management and dj's are great. Dj's will work with you as long as you work with them.
MEANING show up to stage on time and do your sets don't just lay there and don't complain.
Waitresses are VERY clickish here. So here's what you have to do. To make any of them for the most part get you when there are tabs or people on corp cards or with large sums of cash., you need to make sure they are taken care of in their tips on tabs. 20% is the winning number here.
They almost always will side with certain dancers and they will cut your throat to get those girls in there. Its sad that some do this shit . But they do. Because they know those girls will get them 20 % + in tips.
Just know that going into it.
Next up :::
Schedules.
This club wants to keep you as firm up on a schedule as possible. If you can't make it in for your shift you are almost better off NOT calling in
it seems if you call in you are fucked. They will almost always demand a doctors note .
Now that would be fine if we had insurance and we were really an employee but considering you aren't " unless you are on payroll ".. its a bullshit policy. Its more a less a scare tactic or bullying.
If you are sick just don't bother calling in unless you do have a doctors note or are going to be gone for more then just a day or one shift.
You are required unless you have school obligations and can produce a school schedule , 4 days. 2 days during the week and 2 weekend days.
Shifts are like this
Monday - Saturday 3pm - 9pm, 7 pm - 1 am , 9 pm - 3 am.
Sundays are 3 -1 am
First come first to leave sorta thing.
Your sets are always 3 songs. If there are too many girls in the VIP you will become 4 song sets.
not many of the girls get down to their thongs on stage. in fact few of them do. it is required you get topless though.
You'll notice a few wont even get topless unless infront of a patron.
You wont make a lot on stage. It's just one of those clubs where your money is def. going to come from the dances.
and now to dances.
first off these are to be LIGHT contact dances. IE you touch them they dont touch you
however if you look around you'll notice that some girls dont give a shit what they touch ..yet these are the same girls that will tell on you.
no grinding
although it does go on.
The seriousness of the rules and the rules in its entire have lost its effect , there is just no telling how far down this club will continue to go. When i started there it was considered in air dances. Now in a matter of 9 months it's basically medium contact although they try that light contact bs with new hires. I've seen it all in this club at one time or another... minus someone giving oral and sex.
Dances are 20 bucks
there are no specials etc with dances.
Vips are 120 in CASH
These are per half hour. Always try and sell an hour first.
you pay 20 bucks to the Management to recieve a ticket.. then you go and take the patron to the VIP room which is located upstairs.
You cannot go without the ticket. period.
One customer unless its a couple ..per girl.
In the vip room there are couches and armchairs ( the same ones as downstairs ) girls do fight and bitch about who gets what couch. Its basically a first come first serve if all are taken.
When you go to sell the VIP just mention that its a more intimate place and say there are couches and arm chairs up there. I wouldnt mention you will be dancing on a couch just incase there are none available.
There is a bouncer in the VIP room. , and cameras. Let me just say that only 2 of the 5 bouncers do their fucking job.
So if someone is messing with you its best that you try and handle it , warn them once and if its too much get up and demand the bouncer say something. if that doesnt work ask for the management to come upstairs.
You can also request another bouncer upstairs in the VIP if you have one that seems to have your back more then another.
same goes for the lapdances
Always but always get paid upfront
Now onto the "pleasure bill " system.
The Garter has a funny money system.
you get about 85 % on it.
And they no longer allow you to tip out on the either so you'll need to always cash them in. You will not recieve the money for 24 hours and some times up to 72 hours depending on the day of the week. IE Weekends.
I think its their way of making sure girls come to work their next scheduled day after a great night of earnings.
VIPS are 160 in pleasurebills.
But you still only get 100 of it.
its easier to get tips from the pleasure bills however i tried to work as much as possible on cash only.
There were more then a few times I was ripped off in payouts.
House mom etc
There are two housemoms. About the only thing they provide that you can honestly find uses for are tampons and the bandaids you'll have to cut and use to place over your nipples ( the bandaids not the tampons )
Otherwise its generic products if there are any to use at all. most are gels and hairspray and misc shitty body spray.
That is all they provide.
Oh and candy :eye roll:
Tanya the house mom will keep a board upstairs in the dressing room so you will know when you are up.
the other house mom doesnt really keep a board and its' up to you to do your listening for when you are up.
It's rather dirty in the dressing room. The floors are NOT to be walked on so bring house shoes or flipflops.
The bathroom stahls are pretty gross. and the toilets clog a lot.
no soap in the bathroom
so bring all of this shit and store it in your nice big locker :)
Also keep your shit locked up!! there are more then a few thieves that circle around here. Keep your purse in your car and all your money locked in your truck
all your other stuff keep locked up in your locker.
You aren't allowed to bring in your own drinks/food etc you are expected to purchase from the kitchen and bar.
which is BS. redbull is 7.50 here.
Sidenotes...
This is not the club to make friends. but it is one to make great work associates.
Stay to yourself and make your money always!!!
Try to always work on cash only. but dont say that to customers.
