Great entry to service industry

Recommend
CEO approval

Pros

-Pays minimum plus tips even though not legally required, at least in my store -Thorough training. They push you to excel at service -Moves people up as quickly as possible. Hosts move up to the next step typically in 4-6 months, to server in under a year and if you're interested in management this is well within the realm of possibility as well. -Flexible scheduling with understanding management. Great for college students and people with other jobs -Busy place where servers can make good money, probably the best in town -Will give great references to good employees and will help you transfer to another store if needed

Cons

-Management can be a bit disorganized, though no worse than anywhere else -Corporate feel can be a bit tiring. Lots of rules to follow, push for getting customers to fill out surveys and do promos, though staff is rewarded for doing well at this
