Pros

Pay is the highest I have seen in the food industry. The hours are consistently in the morning, and your schedule (barring weather emergencies) is set a year in advance. You get three ten day vacations a year.

Cons

You are responsible for a 24 hour restaurant. That means if something happens overnight that your team gets in over their head, you need to help them handle it.

Pros

Good money opportunity regarding tips - balances out to an above average pay at the end of the year. Easley store has good management. Company wide competitive base pay rate in the serving industry. Effective strategy for order taking, placing, and EOS duties. No seniority bias.

Cons

As any serving job, there are slow no-money-making nights. 1st and 2nd shifts are not guaranteed full time. They offer the opportunity to request low income where they will bridge the gap if you make less than minimum wage but this is almost entirely unused by the servers to the complexity of the reporting process.
