Pros

They are really flexible with schedules especially working around college/ university classes, as long as you understand that most restaurants require you to work at least partial weekends. The uniform is pretty relaxed and it was a fun, casual, place to work. Side chores always rotate and seem fair.

Cons

Depending where you work, you make your tip money mostly by quantity of tables rather than quality of tips per table, as their food is inexpensive.

Pros

Short drive, Half off food, Will work with you with your schedule.

Cons

GM unprofessional. Not appreciated for your experience and what u can bring to the table. Tips were poor. Poor customer base. Antiquated POS. No patience to train properly. Are bullies. Heating and AC do not work properly. Extreme favoritism. Do not recommend. Oh and if you didn't make your sales quota, u were told you would lose hours. If a table walked out without paying, they made u pay the difference. Callous, unprofessional, employees came last. Sales is all that matters.
