Majority of the work consisted of myself bussing tables with a fun and friendly staff, that treated me like family.
I learned to work effectively communicate with the host/hostess or waiter/waitress about the availability of their section after ensuring the sanitation of said section.
management was kind, they also understood the flow of the times the restaurant became busy and would turn to a lull, and would dismiss workers as needed.
the hardest part of the job was when large parties of families would take up a third of the establishment and it would sometimes take me twenty minutes or more to effectively clean the tables, or when i was tasked to go deliver food in a rush only to come back to a mountain of plates or dirty tables.
the most enjoyable part of the job was the atmosphere, employees laughing, making jokes with guests and one another, i never had a bad day working for this company.

This is actually a very easy job with a minimal workload. Management however made this job unbearable. There was a clear lack of communication between management and both kitchen staff and FOH staff which often set us all up for failure and aided in fostering a very toxic work environment. Favoritism paired with a management team that allowed deprecating gossip to spread and cause such a rough divide between all the people employed there turned this once amazing place to work, into a constant revolving door of new employees. I really do hope that this changes for my old location. A house divided against itself cannot stand.

Going to work always feeling like you were walking on egg shells with the GM.  He was never friendly and would avoid his staff.  He never would make direct eye contact when talking with you.  There is definitely favoritism played.  Some people can do no call no shows and get away with it and others would get fired for being a few minutes late.  

If your looking for a place that offers supportive teamwork, this is not the place for you.  No one looks out for each other.  

The hardest part of the job is dealing with the hostess', cause they just seat and don't go in rotation.  Some servers will be standing around doing nothing, while others are in the weeds, trying to accommodate all of there guests.  

Horrible place to work!

A typical day at work for me has always been opening my section and preparing my side work for the day. Once the restaurant opens people start coming in one by one, next thing I know I'm working a full section of five or more tables at a time. I've been with the company for about 6 years now and I learned to work in a fast professional way.I've worked with great people from employees to management. My job is to make sure everyone is satisfied. I enjoy seeing regulars come back to eat. The hardest part of my job is balancing my personal life due to long hours at work. At one point I worked six days twelve hours shifts for a long time. Now i work a few days double shifts and the rest I only do one shift.

Very unorganized, they put other people’s loads on you. The thing that really bothers me was they wanted me to run a hazmat load with no labels. I’m a hazmat driver so I didn’t understand. Afterwards I found out they aren’t insured to run hazmat. 56000 pounds of industrial batteries filled with acid and stacked right on top of each other with no support is dangerous 

my overall experience with this company has taught me the art of operating a successful restaurant business, I was able to learn how to maintain a positive attitude when business is slow I also was able to learn how to manage my mood in overwhelming conditions.

It's was a good job. It's a very fast pace job though and you got to keep up. You get trained for like 7 day and more if need. The hardest part is when some people don't understand it's your first few days. Other than that it's a good job.

A typical day at work for me was picking up phone calls and taking orders for pizza deliveries as well as cleaning my station and doing to go orders. The management was great they had their employees back and were very understandable. There wasn't anything hard about this job I really enjoyed the team work in this establishment.

I always enjoyed interacting with my co-workers and completing my daily tasks! The work environment was very friendly and fun as well. There were definitely times when there would be complications but nothing that couldn't be fixed.

Managers are all on different pages. Very disorganized. Fire people for less and others do far worse and still work there . The tips are bad because no one is patient and understands it takes 45 to an hour. The kitchen doesn’t listen to us. So much work and stress with little reward
