MPA Share of the Door Fee

[Carlie G]

don't tell me you guys haven't seen the security cameras at most entrances?? Serves two purposes. One, deterent to the client from causing problems. Two, timing the session. If the boss thinks he is net get the proper fees from teh MPA, it's easy to check the tape...and you don't have to be on site.

I don't know about mainstream MPs. But for Asian MPs, the $40/hh room fee goes to the owner, everything else goes to the girl (cost for extras + tips). This seems like a fair arrangement to me.

Unfortunately, some customers are going in expecting a rub and a release for $40 with no tip, or $10 to $15 tip and thinking they are being generous. So if what you are saying is accurate, the girl is providing a massage hoping for extras and when the client declines, she gets nothing.

I don't see that as being very fair, especially when the girl will then go to the back of the line if there are others working there. She may make $20 off a massage and then wait for hours while being paid nothing hoping that at least one customer upgrades from the basic massage. There are spas that are not as busy as the mainstream ones and a girl may only see 3 or 4 clients a day and not all are tipping $20 or more.

My understanding of the split in Chinese MPs and massage places is different than yours. From what I have been told in the places that I frequent the split is usually 50/50, although I know of couple of places where the owner would only share 25%.
