Thank you for sharing your perspective and for the many years you dedicated as an Associate with us! We understand that the server role is broad and requires handling many front-of-house responsibilities. That all-hands, team-based approach is a defining part of how our restaurants operate, but it’s important that expectations are clear and staffing supports the workload. We value long-term feedback like this because it helps us better understand what’s working and where experiences can feel demanding.
