Pros

hooked up with stafflinq.com- very easy to lose or pick up shifts; schedule gets txt to my phone as well as available shifts and important announcements. Flexible hours;busy restaurant so good money potential if you have a great section and if the hostess pulls her head out of her @$$$$.

Cons

sections are unfair (at my store) hostess/host should really have server experience so they know how it feels when they dont follow rotation, skip sections and quadruple seat people. Instead its mostly 15 yr old teeny boppers, batting their eyes at the line cooks and walking around with a clueless expression. Since we HAVE to tip out the host it would be nice if they were more proactive about cleaning off tables.
