Pros

Lots of resources to learn and improve your performance. Well respected franchise.

Cons

Being a "lower volume" restaurant means that as a GM I am a dishwasher, cook, bartender, expo, prep cook and janitor. Our market is saturated and it is extremely difficult to retain good employees.

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.
