CARRABBA'S ITALIAN GRILL Employer Reviews

A typical day would consist of people calling in to make reservations and to place to go orders. Our busiest times was during the weekends and on holidays. We'd have large parties call in to go orders and it was my job to make sure that the orders had been put together properly and take it out to the patrons car. I love interacting with others so this – more... job was also a breeze for me. – less

Further detail provided upon request. Managers would set higher expectations for certain people, but generally speaking they were all good people. Fun to work with at times.

It wasn't an extremely challenging position, but the managers were really wonderful to work for. Very friendly staff all around, some of us are still really close friends today.

The hardest part of the job was working on friday and saturday nights, we were always slammed. Along with being in charge of the rotation sheet, giving accurate wait times, and being aware to not double seat a server's section, I would wash, dry, and roll silverware. I would also help to prebus the tables in order to keep a high rate of turnover in the restaurant.

Personally, my favorite part of the job was training new FOH Hostesses in their opening and closing duties. – less

A typical day insures that all customers leave satisfied. most duties here are taking phone orders, and helping out the waiters when possible, but each Carrabbas is managed differently.
