Pros

Flexible schedule and nice coworkers

Cons

Tipout was outrageous, 9% to hibachi chef, 3% to the bar for liquor sales and 2% from food sales for busser. If a customer does not tip, they, in essence, take from your other tips so it is not ideal. Hibachi is risky business

Pros

You can make good money once you build your own routine and build a relationship with regular customers.

Cons

The clientele can be very impatient, obnoxious and entitled, and it is not the healthiest work environment which adds to the stress. It can also be very unorganized and frustrating to be around.
