Pros

It's easy to get hired here. Several people got hired around the same week I did. Only 1 of them is left or hasn't finished up their 2 week notice. The reason is because of the location. It's in the heart of the city and the low quality clients that come in only tip like $2 and $5 so you can work for 9 hours straight and only leave with $45 bucks a couple nights in a row.

Cons

low tips and the computer order entry is quite un-user friendly. Computers are easy for me though so I learned it quick but others had trouble getting their routine down the first month.

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!
