Good casual restaurant serving job.

Pros

Great coworkers in FOH. If you show up on time and ready to serve, you can make decent money. For a professional server who knows to leave your baggage at the door, this is a great job. If you are reliable and do good work, you will get good hours.

Cons

Like all serving jobs, some days are better than others. Kitchen staffing issues can lead to long ticket times on busy nights.
