Overall, this is a great place to work and I am so glad I was able to get on with such a great team of people. The best part of the job is certainly the co-workers. When I started working for this company, everyone was very helpful and patient with me until I became adjusted to the new work environment. It is also very nice to be recognized by management for your personal growth and accomplishment within the company. I also enjoy the fact that there isn't any drama at work. Everyone is friendly to each other because we are all on the same team and work together to reach the goal of a good lunch or dinner service for the customer. Another plus is the fact that there are opportunities to move up in the company if that is something you are looking for. You might have to travel to a new store eventually, but you can become a manager if you would like to do that. I am about to list of some things about the company that I would like to see changed, but this should not take away from the positives. Some negative aspects of the job are when you have to cover multiple stations by yourself or have to work by yourself for dinner because management thinks we need less people during the week. When it's the summer and we're busy every day, we need an extra cook on the line. It is also very frustrating when servers/bartenders ring in items we don't have (wrong soup of the day or something we ran out of hours ago) or if they ring in something with a special request and don't come tell us about it until the item has already been cooking for 6 minutes and we need to fire a new order. Finally, it is very upsetting when the prep cook is allowed to go home early and we run out of things during the busy dinner rush. This forces someone on the line to go out back and do prep. This effects our ticket times and adds to everyone's stress of covering for that missing person on the line.

This company from the corporate mouth sounds like it is the greatest chain to work for . However this is simply u true shortly into my training the store i had trained at had roaches . I will say in my years of food service the lack of detail cleaning is based on management and can only be judged on a store by store basis. You are solely at the mercy of your fellow managers and general manager. I myself apparently was not a favorite as i was routinely scheduled as the closer at least 4 out of 5 shifts a week. Sometimes upwards of 6 times in a row which i wouldnt have minded if you could get out prior to 2 am . This particular chain doesnt seem to care much of its employees unless you have been with them for 10+ years . The district manager is not ti be seen and any problems voiced in his direction are disregarded and simple not handled appropriately. Multiple times on shift other managers working would be lounging around the bar more interested in gossip and talking than providing great guest service and often leaving myself hi and dry to take care of its issues . Employees develooed habits of showing up late routinely or simply not showing up at all (mostly kitchen help) which was never handled and allowed to persist as the Gm and Km did nothing . Overall i would say my case is rare and hopefully doesnt happen at other locations however it seems this is a culture for the 99 with no signs of slowing ...

Very good company to work for. They are very flexible for those who are in school or have another job. They offer 401k and benifits for those who maintane a certain amount of hours worked per week. Pay is very good. A typical day for myself at work is interacting with the customers and delivering the best dinning expiernce. Throughout the day you will see everyday customers and also new customers. I strive to keep the everyday customers and to have the new customers come back for another dinning expierence. The resteraunt is a team effort and everyone works together in harminy. The hardest part of the day is pleasing the ones who are unhappy. Everyone is different in how they want to be pleased if something went wrong. It is my job to read the customer and take the correct action, so they keep coming back. The most enjoyable expierence for myself is when I host trivia. I come up with questions each week and I have a great time with the customers. People come each week to play and the time is best time for myself each week. I like to speek in front of people. It does not matter if it is 10 or a million people. I am very confertable.

Worked at one of their busiest locations for about 3 months on ovens. While the job was easy enough to learn, keeping pace with more seasoned employees and maintaining composure was difficult due to the large influx of customers the restaurant would receive regularly in the evening. 

Staff and management were more than accommodating and an absolute pleasure to work with in the time I was there. Safety concerns were addressed and appropriate uniform was provided. Regularly closed for ovens and while the list of tasks were moderately lengthy, they were reasonable. 

Regardless of your station, your trainers will provide the best learning experience possible to make sure you can fulfill your duties.

Typical day at work would be getting to work about 15 min early to fill out our "shift guides" (small guides that help us with what is going on in the restaurant for the night; selling, 86'd, 68'd, etc.) Then about 5 min before the shift begins management goes over the shift guide in general to also let us know any changes in the work place. Each server is assigned a certain section of tables and a sidework that must be completed when your shift is over and before you leave. Equal rotation is given to the servers so they can get the same amount of tables, server goes over, takes orders, brings drinks, etc. The coworkers at the 99 are very helpful toward on another; they realize things can get a little crazy and when ever one has a little more time than the other, they help each other out. Management at the 99 is also very helpful and understanding not only toward their employees but toward the customers as well. Hardest part would be keeping up when it gets busy, most enjoyable would be the help we receive from one another and having a customer leave completely satisfied.

Working here was like working on a slave ship. They advertise a Great meal, Great Deal!!! Anything could be farther from the truth. Most everything starts out frozen and not fresh. Management is nothing more than a bunch of college educated fools who think they know it all. They will take gm's who have drove one store under and move them to another one. Experienced this first hand. Fellow employees are ok but again upper managers are more content at standing around with their hands in there pockets with a cup of coffee looking important. Pay is bleak and getting a raise is like pulling teeth. They review you, if they get around to it, and focus on any negative just to justify measly raises if any. At all cost don't ever work at 99. And avoid eating there. Might taste ok but believe me I've seen some nasty things go on there. They like to hire people who are fresh out of trouble or jail so they can benefit from state kick backs for hiring rif raf. A lot of dirt bags!!!! Enjoy your meal, lol!!!!

My experience working at the 99 was interesting. The environment is not a teamwork oriented workplace. Its one man for himself type of place. The managers will leave the waitstaff to manage the restaurant as they sit in the office and eat all day. Therefore food that needs to go out to the guests sits in the window and gets cold, and wasted. I have come in to work my shift to find food that has been sitting for 3-4 hours in the window to dry out and have had to dispose of it myself because the management could careless to clean or do anything in this place. Overall poor management. Not a bad location to work at besides the fact that you are basically making your own rules and managing yourself because half the time the managers are busy chilling somewhere in the Restaurant.

Working as a hostess here has been a really positive experience. From day one, I felt welcomed by both management and my coworkers. The managers are approachable, supportive, and always willing to answer questions or help when things get busy, which has made it a great place to learn and grow. The servers, bartenders, and kitchen staff are all hardworking, respectful, and work together as a strong team to make every shift run smoothly. Even during the busiest times, everyone is willing to lend a hand and support each other. I've learned so much about customer service, communication, multitasking, and teamwork while working here, and I continue to build new skills every shift. The positive environment and supportive team have made coming to work enjoyable, and I'm grateful to be part of such a dedicated group. I would definitely recommend working here to anyone looking for a welcoming and team-oriented workplace.

The work environment is very cliquey. The managers have their favorites and everyone else is less than nothing. When working here I was constantly harassed by my male coworkers. To the point of not wanting to be around any of them. Even though all of my direct coworkers were men. Despite starting after them, I was always the one who stepped up and did what had to be done. The managers pretend to care about you when in reality they will drop you for anything. Even though I quit the job, the store manager put in the system that I was terminated instead, due to her massive ego. Advancement in pay was overlooked entirely. The managers made me feel like even though I did everything in my power it was never enough to their standards, even though my coworkers who worked their for several years agreed that the work I was doing was greatly done. 

Your life doesn’t really matter to them. Some of the instore managers work hard to help you make it work others are useless.Often times people promoted to supervisory or management roles have no ability to do the job and hourly employees are left to pick up the slack.  Upper management is out of touch with working class, and most kitchen help is hired with little to no experience then scheduled no real training time. People with restaurant experience can make a little more than those with none but not much. Constantly short staffed, and they will call about you coming in on your days off. Health insurance insures you won’t be fined by the government at the end of the year. If you’re in need of a paycheck, they will certainly provide one, but the place just drains you and brings you down. My advice is keep looking, I met some good people working here but the general consensus amongst us was to get out.
