Good for experience, bad if you're looking to make a lot of money
Pros
Pretty easy job, made lots of new friends that made work fun, some cool managers, free food (most of the time), made tips as a food runner.
Cons
Hours are terrible (atleast at my location) Unless it's summertime, you're barely getting hours. Yes it's true servers/food runners make good tips but does it matter if you're only working 2-3 days a week? Only people that get guaranteed hours are veterans who've been there for years. I promise more than half the people I worked with here have 2 jobs. Don't even get me started on host pay, $17 a hour in 2025 (Los Angeles) is a joke, maybe if you're still in highschool it's good money, at that point I would just recommend working fast food ($20 a hr) A lot of customers here are also entitled (fake service animals, moving seats without asking, complaining about wait times, etc) The other half of the management team was also terrible and made you dread coming into work.
