Pros

If you have never served before, Applebee's is the best place to learn. The menu is simple, and the guest orders are repetitive. Also if show that you can catch on, they will promote you to a bartender. Figure out how to bartend and then find a better-paying job or build your own brand!

Cons

The management at both stores I word at were and are probably still dysfunctional. The last location I worked at the manager couldn't spell, hired and fraternised with the majority of the young women he hired, and mismanaged money.

Pros

Meeting great staff FOH and BOH

Cons

No monthly salary as discussed during orientation. Bonuses totaled around 700 for year 2024. I was basically an overpaid line cook. No exaggeration. Weekly inventory and truck orders was all there was to do for managers. The rest of the day consisted of being a prep as the open mgr(we literally didn’t have a prep), hosting, bagging orders, and being the best line could you could ever want to be. Get comfortable on broil!
