CEO approval
Business outlook

Pros

Busy, Variety of shifts, Constant money

Cons

Expect 50 hr/wk Money is constant but you’re also working 50 hrs (you can make the same at an actual fine dining restaurant in 1/2 the hours) They expect you to work doubles with little to no break. They’ll tell you to pack a lunch. Don’t want you to bring water bottles The senior servers are really negative The culture is negative

Pros

I saw some servers make some great money. HR lady was nice.

Cons

Quick to hire because me they love to brag that only 50% of the new hires make it through training. You better be good at memorizing a TON of information in a little bit of time. They expect you to have every single ingredient memorized in every menu item down to the salt and pepper. If you don’t pass the series of tests -even if you’re doing great on the floor- within a few weeks you get let go. I’m not a great test taker and knew I would have it memorized over time...I KNOW i’m great at working in restaurants and could provide great customer service and work fast and hard for them. Their training was terrible “here memorize this” isn’t great for people that are not test takers. The people that have worked there 10+ years have been there so long they forgot what it’s like to be new. They let go of some really good people this way. They were extremely rude to all the new people. I felt like I was being herded in like cattle to them, wasn’t treated as a person, just another person to see fail in their twisted environment. Also, I saw a waitress pick out a bug with her fingers out of an alcoholic beverage before serving it to guests. Their kitchen was the grossest i’ve seen out of the 5+ restaurants i’ve worked at.
