Server does all FOH work. The only things servers don’t do is cook and manage.

Thank you for sharing your perspective and for the many years you dedicated as an Associate with us! We understand that the server role is broad and requires handling many front-of-house responsibilities. That all-hands, team-based approach is a defining part of how our restaurants operate, but it’s important that expectations are clear and staffing supports the workload. We value long-term feedback like this because it helps us better understand what’s working and where experiences can feel demanding. If you’d like to share additional thoughts, we welcome you to reach out at https://www.wafflehouse.com/contact.

Pros

Solid pay for the industry Okay benefits Employee stock purchase plan Pretty consistent hours The actual work is difficult, but fun after you get good at it. Upward momentum is difficult, but the pay scales very well if you work your way up into management. Prepare for intense work if you do though.

Cons

They hire everyone, and your team will make or break your experience. Genuine safety concerns on 3rd shift. You need to be prepared for people to act out. Senior management only have operation management skills. They are not good "people" managers at all. Only "number" managers.
