Ala Carte Entertainment

As a manager, you will receive Zero Training (even though your offer will have 45 days of training before you receive a raise which never comes). GM just hides in the office during service. You will be handed a Training Book that has not been updated since 2014, and told to go to work. You will be guided in the opening and closing duties but do not expect any operational training (like menu or equipment training). The menu guides you are given to train with don't have the right ingredients. Policy changes week by week. Even if you fight past these obstacles, they can just let you go because they hired too many managers with zero notice. You can never feel comfortable here because even if you do everything right you can be gone tomorrow. Upper management is very out of touch with the hospitality business but yet they will control your career. Oh, did I mention that you can only get your pay by paper check. No Direct Deposit. No Pay Card. This company just wants you to do the work and not worry about your life outside of work. All this company did is hurt my job history. I wish I would of taken a different offer than accepting the offer from Ala Carte. This ruined the whole brand for me. I will never be a customer again (and I was a long time customer before working here). So do yourself a favor, Don't Apply!!!!!!

Ah, working at this restaurant is a dream come true. They’ll smile and tell you you’re exactly what they need—until they don’t. If you're lucky, you’ll last until the next slow day, then, BAM, you’re out the door. It’s like they’re handing out participation trophies for a while, making you feel like you’re their top choice, the ‘one they’ve been waiting for.’ But spoiler alert: you’re just the flavor of the month. No room to grow, just a season pass to the revolving door. But hey, it’s all part of the charm, right? The place where ‘employee at will’ means ‘you’re fired whenever we feel like it.’ And let’s not forget, turnover’s high, and so is the chance that you’ll get to say, “Goodbye!” right after they tell you how amazing you are. Ah, nothing like a dead-end job with a side of false compliments.

A typical day, is fast paced and you will learn as you go. Work hard, take care of the customer internally & externally! You will have opportunities to work at multiple locations, which is a plus! Management has an open door. The hardest part of the job is working holidays, and weekends. The best part is the awesome co-workers and fun events, and you can't put a price on the contacts and friendships you will make!

Working for Ala Carte Entertainment was a learning experience. As a chef, we were taught that above everything else, we were running a business. Every expense was examined, honed and pruned.Most management was in it for the long term and many lifetime relations were formed.
Most of the employees were very hard workers as the company culture was geared towards very productive workers.
Hardest part of the job was staying new and fresh with current trends to outdo our competition.

Start the day by doing all the night paperwork and safe count. Turning T.v's on inventary in liquor room done everyday. Then expo, because kitchen manager wasn't always there, food running. Then greeting and seating. Helping the servers and he bartenders out. When it slowed down enough you might be able to grab a bite to eat but half he time it was booking parties or doing dishes.

I had a great time working at Ala Carte, advancements are very possible. Issue with the unstructured salary and how that was set up. Some individuals could start their jobs with little to no experience and make better money than those who had been with the company for years.

Hard company if you're a woman thats for sure.

Working in the office was challenging and being able to balance out all your projects for the day and week. I learned a lot with how to deal with customer reviews and social media platforms. Managers were good. Hardest part of the job were the hours. The most enjoyable part of the job was the direst contact with the customers.

Poor managers/leaders starting at the corporate office hinder the ability for good employees to have a healthy work-life balance.  The company is consistently short handed intentionally and require employees and managers to pick up more and more work which result in unrealistic hours worked. There is no HR person in this large company which results in issues never dealt with!!

I loved everyone I worked with during my time with the company, and there are a wide range of locations if you ever need to transfer or move. Management was over-all friendly. However, shifts were often short, and the money was inconsistent. pay was uneven and unfair for non-tipped positions in some circumstances.

Hands on owner and management staff. They do their best to accommodate life balance and succeed at it. They take care of their employees rather well. A great place to "cut your teeth" or even make a career. If you do a good job advancement opportunities are readily available.
