10%-25% discount. Extra cash. Coworkers are happy and motivating. Some management praises good work. Good music to choose from. Food smells good.

Cons

Host's have to train on RSOA. (Responsible Serving of Alcohol, when they are not old enough to even carry alcohol. The pay is terrible. Some management doesn't have a clue what to do and don't follow what is actually suppose to be done.

Pros

Short drive, Half off food, Will work with you with your schedule.

Cons

GM unprofessional. Not appreciated for your experience and what u can bring to the table. Tips were poor. Poor customer base. Antiquated POS. No patience to train properly. Are bullies. Heating and AC do not work properly. Extreme favoritism. Do not recommend. Oh and if you didn't make your sales quota, u were told you would lose hours. If a table walked out without paying, they made u pay the difference. Callous, unprofessional, employees came last. Sales is all that matters.
