Cohn Restaurant Group

A relatively relaxed atmosphere with helpful management, a good culture overall, difficult when swamped with demanding guests since we were instructed to bend over backward in ALL situations, even if it meant that the entire rest of you guests suffered as a result.  Terrible balance, or lack thereof, to ensure the happiness of a difficult guest, while having to abandon the other, low maintenance guests.  Not a good policy AT ALL.  A great deal of cool fellow employees and a high amount of great guests made the job enjoyable.   A big beef was having to work with terrible employees who were constantly defended by management and not let go, even though these bad apples made work harder for everyone else as a result of their lack of professionalism.

I order Liquor and Wine, Monitor and control Inventory, create and execute new promotions and incentive programs.

In addition I also create menus and menu items as
 well as execute bar service for the restaurant during service hours. I manage the staff in the Lounge area and coach all staff members on wine service. 

I've learned how to be assertive and set standards with the staff while remaining fair and unbiased. 

The most difficult part of my job is finding new challenges which stimulate my personal and professional growth. The most enjoyable part of my job is when a guest pulls me to the to comment on what a great experience they have had at our establishment.

What is the best part of working at the company?
It provides a way to make a decent living. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management does not care about fairness. Some of the tips are pooled and some employees do not hold their own and managers do not seem to care enough to put an end to the situation


What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It is fine. In general most employees get along with each other well enough. At least professionally


What is a typical day like for you at the company?
The typical day is pretty good

It is nice to work with this company. Been exposed to new items, products and different menus is what I liked about worlking here. You can create specials anytime you want. A lot of call outs from the staff, there is always something, but whats what makes the job fun. I enjoyed every single day, even if it was a hard one. Fun place to work at.

I love this restaurant group, however they do take a while as far as career advancement. It is a pretty high-paced job on nights when we are busy, however the managers make sure to help as much as possible and make sure to make you aware of their appreciation. I have learned many skills through this job such as: phone skills, effective communication, training skills, restaurant and serving skills, and team-work.

Worked front of house for a Cohn concept. The management was verbally abusive and treated their lesser employees like they weren't real people. In addition, kitchen allowed to run out of product on a regular basis and long ticket times were abundant. Apathetic is the word I'd best use to describe managements feelings towards lesser staff.

Working for CRG was a great life transition and taught me many wonderful lessons. On top of that, it was extremely fun! 

I had the pleasure of working for the corvette diner where I got to sing and dance, entertain guests to the MAX, do silly hair, wear fun flair, and that’s just to name a few. It was an excellent work environment and I was lucky enough to even do a few TV segments as well as a magazine cover.

I worked with CRG for 5 years, through the pandemic, and I truly felt like I left with a family. The managers at my restaurant in San Diego (C-Level) were as supportive they could be in the customer service industry. I genuinely enjoyed going to work each day and I left knowing I had somewhere to come back to if I ever needed to. 

CRG restaurants are typically busy. Sometimes it felt as if there was not great communication between management and the departments, so it could seem a little unorganized and stressful at times. Other than that, it's a pretty okay job. Nice coworkers. 

By far, hands down the best!     I have worked in the hospitality business for 35 years and the Cohn group is by far the best i have ever worked with.   They have a true understanding of what hospitality is, they are hands on and  show a true appreciation for all their employees.
