Overwhelmed by the required tasks
Dishwasher (Former Employee) – Township of Brick, NJ – August 1, 2018
The responsibilities of the job at times was overwhelming due to the high demands and fast paced environment. I was fed by the chefs delicious and hot meals. There were late hours for the position i was in.
Pros
Good Food
Cons
long hours additional responsibilities
Very stressful place to work. Loved the people. Just the management was terrible.
Food Runner (Former Employee) – Roeland Park, KS – July 26, 2018
Management was always changing. Place has gone downhill. Was part time which means no more than 40 hours a week. I always worked more than that and didn’t get paid time and a half.
was great management

Hard work and bad hours
Busser/Dishwasher (Current Employee) – Naperville, IL – July 11, 2018
The pay is 4.50 an hour plus tips, and the only days when you can make decemt tips is the weekend. The hours are very bad because it can get in the way of weekend activities

Server, Bartender, and Salary Bar Manager (Former Employee) – Strongsville, OH – June 26, 2018
On paper it seems like an amazing place to work, it's been around for a long time which is impressive. The money as a server, or bartender is decent but you have to hustle for it. They often times set expectations for you to follow without following them themselves. No leading by example.
Pros
Money is decent, the guests are nice, the menu has a little of everything on it making them open for all types of diners.
Cons
Upper management is awful, they have horrible communication skills, they don't give everyone equal opportunities to shine, and never hold thank you themselves accountable.
it was an okay job

high paced hosting job
Hostess (Former Employee) – Olathe, KS – June 12, 2018
very high paced hosting job if you weren't hosting you would be used somewhere else porting food cleaning or asking guests how they were doing. difficult for a first job
Pros
discounted food
Cons
no breaks
Friendly work environment with lasting friendships
Head Bartender (Current Employee) – Manhattan, KS – June 7, 2018
The people who work their are all friendly and a great time to be around. Most days it felt like hanging out with friends rather than working. We all worked hard together and stayed poise during the busy rushes. The biggest improvement would be on the management side. They didn't put an effort into improving the wait staff and ignored many ideas from me personally that would benefit the employees and companies bottom line.
Pros
50% discount on all food
Cons
Management
