Pros

It offers a very flexible schedule, but that is common the industry. It is clean as far as restaurants go.

Cons

Terrible hours. Management often over staffs the front of house, causing server sales to drop and thus less money at the end of the shift. They under staff the more expensive cooks, causing food times to increase, and thus less money at end of shift.

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!
