Pros

It's a hobby ! Not a job .

Cons

Grill Operators bonuses taken away the week before Christmas ! (Manager states that , "Food cost is too high")! Because all salespeople are new and don't know the prices to charge, or think that they will get a bigger tip by giving the food away, money is taken out of the pockets of their grill operators ! After cooking $100 & $150 over goal every day last week and having no compensation over minimum wage, this is so shameful !! While "slamming" on the grill, we don't have time to audit every ticket & when asked to see or sign salesperson's ticket, they are just not going to give it to you !!!!!

Pros

Good money opportunity regarding tips - balances out to an above average pay at the end of the year. Easley store has good management. Company wide competitive base pay rate in the serving industry. Effective strategy for order taking, placing, and EOS duties. No seniority bias.

Cons

As any serving job, there are slow no-money-making nights. 1st and 2nd shifts are not guaranteed full time. They offer the opportunity to request low income where they will bridge the gap if you make less than minimum wage but this is almost entirely unused by the servers to the complexity of the reporting process.
