Not the best

Pros

At times you can make some money, typically only on dinner shifts Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights only.

Cons

Management doesn't care about employees, at the 183 Austin location they will lie about your hourly as they ask to pick up other positions. The location has only been properly staffed when we opened and people come and leave in droves. You'll pay out for busser that do not exist, you will buss your tables a lot or not get sat. They'll promise you special meals or even meals for picking up doubles but it will hardly ever happen, I think it has honestly happened 6x in almost a year I’ve worked here. There is a reason we have 3 bussers on staff and 3 quit yesterday, we are down 25 servers and have they beg servers to be hosts because we are down to 3 of these as well, we have no food runners and the kitchen is a whole ‘nother paragraph. You will have whole tables comped weekly, and multiple items comped daily. They refuse to look internally at the why and fix it, the cycle keeps going. Find a server leaving a shift at 10pm-1am if you don't believe me. This might be a better situation that you're coming from to those I say come on, but for most I think you're better off where you are.
