Flexible schedule and nice coworkers, but low pay

Server/bartender

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The schedule is flexible, the coworkers are very nice, and the overall work environment is not too strict.

Cons

We are paid at minimum wage and rely heavily on tips. Some customers think it’s more of a cafe than a restaurant, so they don’t usually tip. Also, our location gets a lot of Doordash orders, which don’t bring in any tips for us.
